My Youtube channel with videos of the loom working



The finished loom









I decided to try and build a loom when my grandaughter had one bought her for a present
I made a couple of small frame looms that were quite successful.




I then got interested in building a "proper" loom and looked for plans to do that,
I looked all over the net to find some free plans but couldn't find any that were useful,
so I weighed up various looms and worked the dimensions out for myself
So here are my dimensions for my loom, I know I will have made mistakes but it does work well
so I am more than happy with the result.
