Floor Loom Weaving and knitting socks is what this blog is all about.
Even the earliest historical records mention weaving. Cloth for clothes and shelter, along with the looms to weave it, has always been essential for man’s survival. The floor loom brought many advantages over our simplest looms in being able to carry yards of warp thread for longer and wider cloth and simplifying the creation of pattern by the combination of threading on multiple shafts, and raising and lowering them with pedals. The word “art” comes from a root word that refers to the order of warp threads on a loom. In our floor loom classes, you will learn how to order the warp threads on the loom to create plain weave, twills, laces and double-weave. It has been said that the possible patterns created by the interlacement of warp and weft threads on a simple 4-shaft loom could not be woven in the weaver’s lifetime. Our beginning 5-day class is designed not only to introduce you to the necessary basic skills to weave on a floor loom but to reinforce those skills as you progress through the series. We have found that repetition really does help students to retain what they have learned and to have the confidence to undertake new projects at home. After taking this class you will be able to calculate and wind out your warp, dress (thread) your loom, read a weaving draft, calculate how much material you need for a particular project and practice your weaving skills. After this 5-day class you will take home a variegated wool scarf, up to two cotton bouclé dish towels and a twill bamboo scarf. More advanced classes will build upon the skills you learn in the beginning class.

There are two types of Jim Ahrens built: two-beam, and three-beam looms. Two-beam looms have no breast beam or back beam, the warp flows directly from the warp beam through the heddles and beater to the cloth beam. This loom also folds for storage or threading. Folded, it can go through a normal door frame…

If you are a weaver who works on a frame loom, you might have come across floor loom weaving patterns that look equally interesting and intimidating. Floor loom weavers have to know how to read weaving patterns, to be able to set up their floor looms properly: thread all the ends in the right sequence through the heddl
