Glimakra Freja Tapestry Loom

Details

The Glimakra Freja is a Swedish-made frame loom for tapestry weaving, built from smooth hardwood and offered in three sizes so you can match it to the way you like to work. Wind your warp around the frame, set your sett, and weave anything from a quick sampler to a finished wall piece. It is an approachable first tapestry loom and a lasting studio tool for experienced weavers.

The Baby Freja, at roughly 15 by 15 inches, is just larger than a notebook and slips into a bag for weaving on the go. It has no tensioning system and is meant to be worked flat or in the hand. The Small Freja (lap size), about 15 by 18 inches, and the Large Freja (regular size), about 21 by 26 inches, both add an adjustable tensioning system that keeps your warp even as the piece grows, and both include legs so you can weave flat or set the loom upright for inclined weaving. A wooden cover snaps over the base to keep the warp threads from snagging.

Freja looms make a wonderful gift, with no limit to what you can create on one. Round out your kit with Glimakra tapestry bobbins and a tapestry beater.
