The weaving area (distance between the top and bottom row of finishing nails) is 22 inches wide X 36 inches tall - a great size for multiple rag rugs around your home :-) I designed this wooden rag rug frame loom with "feet" allowing the loom to lean back at a slight angle. The loom is made from common pine which is easy to paint or stain if you choose - or allow the wood to breathe and age beautifully by itself. The pieces have been sanded, the finishing nails (1/2 inch apart) are all in place. Instructions for fastening the frame together are included along with two thin dowels for inserting into the screw eyes along each side of the frame. Holes for the corner screws have been pre-drilled for you to easily direct the screws into them. All you'll need is a Phillips head screw driver for connecting the frame together. The feet can be added by inserting the bolts through holes pre-drilled on the frame and simply tightening the wing nuts. ABOUT ME: I've been a fine art weaver for over forty years. I primarily weave on a large frame loom that I designed and built myself. My work is, "Fiber Painting" because each piece I weave is done similarly to how I imagine a painter would paint on a canvas. In addition to weaving in my studio, I teach textile art and woodworking to students of all ages up and down the West Coast of the United States.
