Frequently asked questions about looms
What can I do with the loom technique?
What can you make with fabric? 🙂 So many things! It depends on the type of frame you use and its size, but you can make everything from bracelets, bangles, necklaces, coasters, tablecloths, cushion covers, purses, bags, scarves, rugs... not to mention paintings and wall hangings.
What materials are used?
Traditionally, wool, cotton, linen, jute, hemp, and other cool materials and textures like raffia, recycled clothing, sheets, and cables are used. Where is the limit?
What do I need to get started?
The main thing is that you need a support that acts as a frame, thread for the warp and thread for the weft.
There are different types and sizes of frames, as well as accessories that make knitting easier and more enjoyable. You can see our accessories section HERE .
What is the difference between warp and weft?
The warp is the set of threads on which the loom is woven. They are placed lengthwise on the frame, or from the inside out on the circular frame, thus creating a base for weaving that is more or less dense.
The weft is made up of the fibers that "fill" the loom, passing through the warp. It is through different wefts and fibers that we create the design, patterns, and textures of our piece.
What are the basic ligaments or patterns?
The Taffeta stitch is the most commonly used basic stitch. This stitch allows you to create many other patterns and designs on your loom. It consists of passing the weft thread over and under the warp.
The Soumak stitch creates a raised, braid-like pattern and adds volume and texture to the piece. It's widely used, especially in wall hangings (but not only!)
The fringes are added both to the base of the tapestry and to other places on the piece, providing a very beautiful effect!
The brake stitch is used at the beginning and end of the piece to ensure the weft threads don't shift. There are several ways to do this stitch.
What frame size do I choose?
It depends on the size of the pieces you want to create and also where and how you are going to use it.
Regarding size, keep in mind that small pieces can be created on a large frame. In fact, we offer a removable frame, adjustable to various heights to maximize the use of materials, where you can make pieces of various sizes. We also have a small frame (30 cm long) that can be used for many different projects, plus it's very manageable and easy to carry in your bag to the beach! 😉 It's the ideal frame for beginners on the loom, and also for children.
