What is a loom?
Looms and their tools are used to make woven fabric, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
The core purpose of all looms is to keep the vertical warp strings taut for the weft yarn to be passed through from left to right and then beaten down to create the fabric.
You will see different types of looms and tools in action in the video.
These instructions are for using either a wooden frame loom or a cardboard loom.
These looms are great as they are easy to set up and you can take them anywhere.
