Where can I find a good weaving loom. I have only one small weave that was in the back of the Dale Clemens book, I did the marlin as my first weave just using double stick tape and counting the threads by hand over and over. It turned out fine after 3 hours but now i want to do cool, larger patterns from logos and such online. I need a weaving loom but they are almost impossible to find online. There is one on MudHole that only holds 55 threads though. My tiny marlin needed 31, so im guessing I need something more than 55 to make a large weave. Whats the best out there, and where can I find one? Thanks guys!

Several of the sponcers on the left have looms in various sizes & pricing.
Gonna have to get one myself!!

Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it..

Most beginners looms will let you weave up to about 100 threads but are sold in different sizes (thread counts). Depending upon what you want to be able to do you might take a look at the Wonder Weaver. It will handle up to 180 threads and will let you weave on any axis of the rod or on as many as you have room for. You could weave four separate patterns at once if you wished and had sufficient blank circumference to accommodate them. You can also weave a pattern completely around the rod. You can find it on the Renzetti, Mud Hole and I think Merrick Tackle web sites.

Jim I would love to get a Renzetti but by the time I get it into Australia it would double in price. This wouldn't be that bad if , after time, I could put something together to a similar standard as some of the masters frequenting this site. What sort of prices are we talking about for some of the other style looms. I don't want to put anyone in a position where this becomes a price war but I am interested in finding out what's out there and seeing what would suit my purposes.

Do a search, this exact topic was discusse within the past week.

I emailed you some loom info also

Go with Jim's loom. I have one and should have bought at least one more size. (He recommended it, but like most times, I ignored great advice)
They're easy to use and won't break the bank.

Thanks everyone for the help.
