This post will simply cover the loom design and specs. I will be including the dimensions and specifics for the large, rug size and the smaller, place-mat size loom. The pictures posted will show the smaller loom as the large loom is currently in-project!
Each loom is a simple frame design. Four pieces of wood nailed (or stapled) together to make a rectangular frame. Small nails are spaces out along the top and bottom of the loom and metal rings keep the stabilizing rods in place on either end of the loom.
The large loom is 40 inches tall and 28.5 inches wide. The thickness of the wood is approx. 3/4 inch and the width is 2.5 inches. As you can see from the picture, the width piece of wood is nailed/stapled over the length piece. There are 15 nails spaced approx. 1 inch apart from each other and start and end at the inside of the length of the frame. There are 4 rings to hold the stabilizing rod - 1 at each end and 2 in the middle.
The smaller loom uses 3/4 inch thick wood, but only 1.5 inches wide. The length of the frame is 20 inches and the width 15 inches. There are only 13 nails in this loom and 3 rings to hold the rods.
Simple construction - yay! Now you are ready to go!
