Home Loom

"I wracked my brain to decide which one I should get again and decided on the home loom since it was the most versatile for my needs..." -- Doug Masury; Home Loommore customer testimonials

New and exciting for 2002 ... the AVL Home Loom can be converted into a Compu-Dobby Loom!

Something old, something new at AVL. Although the Home Loom was introduced in 1989, it is derived from a loom originally built in 1949 by Jim Ahrens. The Home Loom is AVL's marriage between the high technology found in our other looms and the "high touch" environment of a living room, family room, or study.

The Home Loom, though, doesn't skimp on quality. It features the same kiln-dried hardwood construction, triple-coat lacquer finish, and attention to even the smallest detail found on all other AVL looms.

The Home Loom can be equipped with up to eight harnesses and ten treadles and uses the same convenient side tie-up system found on our modular loom.

The Home Loom is the perfect loom for the weaver who's just starting out and looking for high quality at a reasonable price.

Standard features on all Home Looms include

  • AVL side tie-up harness system (four harnesses, six treadles, thirty side tie-up cords)
  • ability to add four harnesses and treadles
  • illustrated instruction manual
  • kiln-dried hardwood construction
  • locking brake warp tension system
  • heddles (800)
  • lathe-turned standard warp beam
  • standard beater with carbon steel reed (your choice of 6, 8, 10, or 12 dent)
  • two aprons with three steel rods
  • two-year warranty on all parts and labor
