Looms for Weaving That Inspire Your Next Project

There is something quietly captivating about weaving. The rhythm of the shuttle, the tension across the warp, fabric building row by row, it is a craft that pulls you in and keeps you coming back. Since 1997, Paradise Fibers has helped weavers at every level find tools that fit how they actually want to work, whether this is a first project or the latest in a long line of finished pieces.

Choosing the Right Type of Loom

Weaving looms come in several distinct styles, and the right one depends on your space, your projects, and how much pattern complexity you want. Here is a quick orientation to what you will find in this collection.

  • Rigid heddle looms are the most common starting point. Compact, affordable, and quick to warp, they handle scarves, towels, shawls, and yardage beautifully. Schacht, Ashford, and Kromski all make excellent rigid heddle options, with weaving widths ranging from around 10 Inch up to 32 Inch.
  • Folding rigid heddle looms like the Schacht Flip and Ashford Knitters Loom solve the storage and travel question. Same beginner-friendly weaving, but they pack down between projects or fit into a smaller studio.
  • Table looms step up to multiple shafts, usually 4 or 8, opening the door to twills, overshot, and other traditional patterns. They sit on a table or stand and suit weavers who want more pattern range without committing to a floor loom.
  • Floor looms are the long-term studio choice. The Schacht Wolf series, Schacht Standard Floor Loom, and Ashford Jack Loom let you weave wider, faster, and with more shafts. If you plan to weave often or in volume, this is where you settle in.
  • Inkle and tapestry looms handle specialty work like narrow bands, straps, trim, and pictorial weaving. They are also a great low-cost way to explore weaving alongside a main loom.

Picking a loom is easier when you can talk it through. Our Spokane shop is open Monday through Saturday, 10 to 5, and we are happy to walk you through the options based on what you want to weave, the space you have, and your budget.

Why Paradise Fibers

We have been part of the fiber arts community since 1997. The looms we carry are the same ones we use, recommend to students, and stand behind. We focus on quality equipment from manufacturers who care about the craft, because a good loom should make weaving easier and more enjoyable, not the other way around. Several of the brands in this collection are made right here in the United States, and as a family-owned business we take pride in supporting that work.

Frequently Asked Questions

We carry rigid heddle looms, floor looms, and table looms from top brands including Ashford, Schacht, and Kromski. For most beginners, a rigid heddle loom is the ideal starting point - it is approachable, affordable, and capable of producing beautiful woven cloth without a steep learning curve. If you already have some weaving experience and want more structure and pattern complexity, a table loom or floor loom might be the better investment. Our team is happy to help you figure out where to start based on your goals and your space.

It depends heavily on the type of loom. A rigid heddle loom can sit on a tabletop or be used with a stand, and takes up very little floor space when not in use. A table loom is compact but does need a dedicated surface while in use. Floor looms are the most space intensive - a standard four shaft floor loom typically needs a footprint of around four by four feet, plus additional room for the weaver to sit and for the warp to extend in front. If space is a concern, we recommend starting with a rigid heddle loom and working up from there.

A rigid heddle loom is a simplified, single heddle system that produces plain weave and basic patterns using a single heddle bar with alternating slots and holes. It is portable, easy to learn, and perfect for scarves, towels, fabric yardage, and more. A floor loom uses multiple shafts and treadles, which allows for far more complex weave structures like twills, overshot, and lace. Floor looms require more setup, more space, and a longer learning curve, but they open up an enormous range of design possibilities. Many weavers own both.

Not at all. Some of our most enthusiastic customers have never touched a loom before walking through our doors or placing their first online order. The rigid heddle loom in particular is designed to get you weaving within your first session. We also have expert weavers on our team who can walk you through everything from warping to finishing, and we offer classes at our Spokane shop for anyone who wants guided instruction. Do not let a lack of experience hold you back from getting started.

Most looms work well with a wide range of fibers, but weaving yarns - especially smooth, plied yarns in cotton, wool, or linen - tend to perform the most consistently. Weaving puts more stress on the warp threads than knitting does, so you want yarn with good tensile strength and minimal stretch for the warp. The weft can be more forgiving, and many weavers use handspun, textured, or novelty yarns as weft to add interest. We carry weaving specific yarns on cones and in skeins, and our team can help you choose the right combination for any project.

Most looms ship partially assembled or in flat pack form with detailed instructions included by the manufacturer. Rigid heddle looms are generally very simple to put together, often taking less than an hour with basic hand tools. Floor looms are more involved and can take several hours, though the instructions from brands like Ashford and Schacht are thorough and well illustrated. If you run into any trouble during assembly, reach out to us through the chat on our site and we will walk you through it.

When you buy a loom from us, you are buying from people who actually use looms and understand them deeply. We can answer real questions about setup, warping, compatible yarns, and technique - not just read you the product description. We have an in house repair shop in Spokane, we demonstrate our equipment on site, and our team includes experienced weavers who genuinely care about helping you succeed with your craft. Big online retailers cannot offer that. We also offer same day shipping on most orders and free shipping on orders over $99.
