Bead Weaving Looms

There is a great variety of bead weaving looms available, suitable for both the novice and the expert. The type and style you choose will depend on the projects you wish to complete as well as the amount of money you are willing to spend. Beading looms can be made from plastic, metal or wood. Plastic looms are the least expensive, metal ones are in the mid-range, and wooden looms are in the higher price range. Investing in a metal or wooden loom may be worthwhile since they tend to perform better and last longer than the plastic ones.

Bead weaving looms come in several different sizes. The size of your loom will play a part in the size of the projects you can create. Some looms have a comb or spring that holds the warp threads in place. Some also have roller bars that permit you to make projects that extend past the length of the loom. You can also find looms with shedding devices that allow for faster bead weaving.

The shedding device separates the warp threads while you add a line of beads. Then it is rotated to automatically change the position of the beaded warp threads and complete the line. Most bead weaving looms can either sit on a table or in your lap. Another alternative is to use a loom stand.

Some bead loom stands can be adjusted at different heights to better accommodate the weaver. They save table space and often have attached trays to hold and organize your beading supplies and tools. Gold Onyx Bead Weaving Supplies features numerous styles of bead weaving looms and accessories.
