Reviews

Great advice

“I recently bought a used floor loom and I was a little lost after weaving only on a rigid heddle loom so far. This course helped me understand not only my new-to-me loom but also the drafts that I didn't know how to read. Great Instructor!” - Barbara Reihle

All The Things You Need To Know But Don’t Know

“I will return to this video most surely, especially the first video. Tom has great insight into processes and his vast experience has led him to understanding the quirks of every loom. I just got a new Louet Loom and need to go buy a few things on his list that I am sure will enable my first warping to go more smoothly. Tom Knissley is a treasure of information! ” - Tani Miller

Perfect for a New Loom Owner

“Fantastic course! I learned a great deal and especially appreciated that he covered countermarch looms in addition to the more common [ones]. His clear demonstrations and advice show you how to fix or avoid many common problems. ” - Jane Abbott
