Buying a floor loom: My top recommendations

If you're thinking about buying your first floor loom, this video is for you. We'll talk about how to choose the right weaving loom based on what you want to weave, how much space you have, your budget, and perhaps most importantly, how well a loom fits your body. Whether you're interested in weaving towels, rugs, blankets, garment fabric, or complex weave structures, I'll walk you through the major considerations and discuss popular floor loom brands including Louët, Schacht, Glimåkra, Leclerc, Harrisville Designs, Ashford, and AVL. The best floor loom isn't necessarily the biggest, newest, or most expensive. It's the loom you'll actually weave on.
