The link for the new EasyWeave Loom is now active. You can find it to the left in the sponsor column. I saw these in Charlotte and have to say they are very nicely made. A great way to get started in weaving at a very low price.

These are very nicely made. I'm not sure how many threads they'll handle. And, Easy Weave is a board sponsor.

Well guys,
The Kel's jig comes with 2 sets of jigs, one for "A" and one for "D" size thread. Both carry 50 threads. Since I purchased that set I have made several of my own sets. One set with 105 thread slots. Next up on my list is the Wonder Weaver. As far as being a sponsor, there is another sponsor on the left that carries Kel's jig in their catalog. Tight lines to all ~ ~ Re: EasyWeave Looms

You going to make a Wonder Weaver ? The concept looks simple enough. Re: EasyWeave Looms

I'm, from Texas and it is hard for me to count to 105........But I do like the my Kel and maybe my wife will buy me a WW one day. I looked at the EasyWeave and it looks good...............Good engineering and a good site for this product.....good price as well...........Just my opinion........Running off again becasue I don't want to go back to the shop and finish that tuna weave............Thanks Big John Rio Hondo, Texas Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting Re: EasyWeave Looms

I made mine for about $4.00 and they hold 80 threads. Actually pretty easy to make. Re: EasyWeave Looms

Kel's jig is certainly fine, although they are not a sponsor here (they don't help me pay the bills to keep this site online).
The EasyWeave Loom is an extremely well made item and I hope those looking for such a jig will give them first shot. Consider them all, but when similar items are similarly priced, I hope you'll remember those who keep this site online. Thanks. ....... Re: EasyWeave Looms

No Bill, I'm NOT going to make my own Wonder Weaver,,, I'm going to buy it... BUT- - - after I get it,,,,,,,, one never knows what one can make from a "proto-type" !!!! hahahahahah
I hope the new sponsor sells a thousand of them... I just thought it resemembled (sp) the Kel's jig, and I know that when you start getting into some of the more complicated weaves, 40 threads won't do much for you... When I got the Kel's, I was wondering why they had so many places for thread, but now with the more intricate the weaves, the higher number of threads go up. I know the first lettering weaves I did only had 7 threads. That was plenty of threads to do names,, at first, not near enough to do signatures of some of my clients now. Have fun at it fellows ~~ Re: EasyWeave Looms

I started and continue all the way up to 80 thread patterns, with masking tape folded back on itself. I hope nobody is doing that sort of thing these days now that we have all these nice weaving tools to choose from.
