TEXTILE HANDLOOM

This is our small and cute handloom (there are different types of looms), the one we will use to create our scarves- each one is unique- real wonderful and magic pieces of art!!!

"A handloom is a simple machine used for weaving.In a wooden vertical-shaft looms, the heddles are fixed in place in the shaft. The warp threads pass alternately through a heddle, and through a space between the heddles (the shed), so that raising the shaft raises half the threads (those passing through the heddles), and lowering the shaft lowers the same threads—the threads passing through the spaces between the heddles remain in place."
