Woolhouse looms are elegant, well-designed, and beautiful. They have more parts made of wood than any other brand: wooden levers, brakes, and pulleys. The only parts that aren’t wood are the simple metal shafts and apron rods, some gentle little springs, and the texsolv cords and heddles. This means that I often have new weavers comment on how good weaving on them \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. There’s no squeaking or clanking here, just gentle clicking and noises I can only describe as “snikt”. The sound of the wooden pawls walking along the brake wheel is addictive–you’ll see what I mean when you try one out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey’re Smart.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Woolhouses have a handful of super smart design features that we absolutely love.

For example, Woolhouse looms have these gentle little springs on the bottom of the shafts that make shafts snap cleanly back down, ensuring you don’t get any sticky shafts or wonky sheds. The beater rests on little pegs rather than being screwed to a fixed pivot point, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyou can move it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e easily while weaving to a different set of pegs. This lets you adjust the angle of your beat. It also lets you weave for longer without advancing your warp–a huge bonus on a table loom! You can fold the loom easily for storage, and you can fold it with a warp on with no problem. The shaft design is so simple that moving heddles around is a breeze compared to other brands of looms. All of the design choices make weaving easier and more enjoyable. This is a brand that understands weavers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey’re Small.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe company, that is, not the looms (although you can get small ones if you want). Woolhouse looms started in Canada, where they were cult favourites for decades. When the original maker retired, Woolhouses were only available on the secondhand market where they were prized by weavers who knew their looms. Now the name and designs have been transferred to a new maker in Ohio, and they’re back in production again. I love knowing that my loom was made just across the border by someone who is as excited and obsessive about looms as we are. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs soon as I started using Woolhouse table looms in the Gather studio, I was sold on them.
