The Card or Tablet Weaving Loom

This card or tablet weaving loom is based on our mini inkle loom which is based on a tool dating back to the mid 19th century, but the type of fabric created on the card loom dates back into the early Egyptian period. Card woven strips were used in almost every culture through history, as trim strips, belts, and straps.

We offer our card looms in the Mini Card Loom which can do up to 5 feet, and a 15 foot heavy tension model. The minis are made from a furniture grade plywood. Do not let the word plywood discourage you from this loom. Plywood is an engineered wood and has been made for thousands of years; the earliest known occurrence of plywood was in ancient Egypt around 3500 BC when wooden articles were made from sawn veneers glued together crosswise. The 15 foot looms are made from various hardwoods. Our mini looms are not suited for the high tension warps, please see the 15 foot heavy tension loom.

We make our card looms out of various hardwoods from around the world. The majority of our wood is reclaimed, this prevents some of the most beautiful wood from ending up in the dumpster. Each piece is hand rubbed with an oil and paste wax finish, this helps to protect the wood and prolong the life of your loom.
