Looms

Since our inception in 1976, AVL Looms has revolutionized the world of handweaving. In making looms, AVL endeavors to:

1) Enable creation of the highest quality hand-woven fabrics. It is well known that hand-woven fabrics can outshine power loom textiles when the care and skill of a master weaver is properly applied. AVL looms make it easier to more consistently apply your weaving skills.

2) Make handweaving faster. AVL removes tedious tasks and unnecessary motion through clever engineering and the use of modern technologies. We challenge you to find a faster loom for hand weaving.

3) Provide exceptional value. Some companies would have you think that value is simply price. Do their looms last? Can they provide the capability that you need, now or in the future? AVL loom features and construction are unique in the industry, going above and beyond the run of the mill looms.

AVL Looms are now found in over eighty countries around the globe and are widely recognized for their high quality and innovative design. Experience an AVL in all its glory, don't settle for less.

We offer one of the widest ranges of looms in the world. Each loom is designed to address specific weaver's needs. Follow the links and see for yourself:
