The C. Cactus Flower Miniature Loom was designed by Caroline Spurgeon, who also wrote the accompanying booklet, Weaving The Navajo Way, How To Create Rugs, Miniatures and More! She builds each loom by hand of select hardwoods. The peg bars are milled to her specification by an Albuquerque firm. Each loom is individually made, therefore minor differences may be evident as different woods dictate the end result. Each loom is unconditionally guaranteed for one year.
The Maxi loom came about due to requests for a larger loom. It performs like the mini, but allows a larger weaving size. Both looms are considered lap looms and work best when the weaver is seated, the loom in her lap, and leaned against a table or such. Excellent results are also obtained by leaning it against the dashboard (if you weave in the car) or the back of a seat in an airplane. Do not try to work with them in the horizontal position as you will develop broken-back syndrome!
Weavers everywhere are finding the joy of Navajo style weaving without the tedium of the warping process. You will find projects on the mini loom go fast and enable you to learn the same techniques used on full-size Navajo style rugs.
Here is what our customers say:
"Most of all I want you to know how much I enjoy weaving with your loom, and while I'm still learning, that's part of the enjoyment. It's already brought hours of serenity and pleasure to me and I thank you very much.
"I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the mini Navaho Loom that I bought...... It has to be one of the nicest looms I have worked on. Since it is so small I can take it just about everywhere..... As a result I am getting more weaving done."
"I really appreciate the quality and efficiency of your looms."
"I have just received my mini loom and it is so beautiful. I looked at the instruction manual and I am impressed....I did not think I would get as much instruction as is available in the manual."
"I want to tell you how much I love the loom!! I've had a great time using it and your book is crystal clear to follow. Thanks so much!"
We thank all our customers and appreciate hearing from you. Most of all, it's a pleasure knowing so many people are enjoying the loom, the weaving process, and find satisfaction in the end result.
