Made in small batches in Canada from reclaimed solid hardwood, birch plywood, and stainless steel hooks, it includes a 14-hook loom and a rectangular 3.25 × 4.5-inch work surface for creating woven repair patches. Sewing needles, a stretchy tie, a warping helper, and a detailed instruction booklet are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eMany of our customers end up placing a second order later for their weft pick.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eso we added the option for you to purchase them together.

Like its vintage predecessors, the Swift Darning Loom is an heirloom in the making -- this time, with a modern and earth-conscious twist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe designed this loom with our core values in mind. We use reclaimed solid hardwood paired with high-quality birch plywood for the base, and stainless steel hooks and hardware to hold everything together. The wood is sanded to a fine finish and left bare, allowing it the potential to develop a beautiful patina with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the work surfaces is unique in character, and in many cases the original finish is left intact as a hat-tip to the previous life that the wood has already enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThe Swift Darning Loom comes with\u003c\/span\u003e one 14-hook darning loom \u0026amp; our \"standard size\" work surface (3.25 x 4.5\").

If you're real lucky, your package will come wrapped furoshiki-style -- re-use the wrap for another gift and carry the tradition on! Or, if you order a pouch, everything gets bundled in there before being swaddled in brown paper. This process takes time, but is the least wasteful packaging method we can think of which makes it worth it! \u0026lt;3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e◘\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach loom is one-of-a-kind and, as we mentioned, handmade with natural wood and stainless steel. This implies that variation in colour, texture, weight and other physical characteristics is completely normal and should not affect the function of your piece. Each one of these is built to last, and we handle every single one of them before shipping to make sure that they are sanded to a velvety finish and that those hooks flip smoothly side to side. The rounded edges and curves make this piece just lovely to hold on to as you work, and the unfinished wood will develop a patina over time -- or you can choose to stain, wax, oil, or paint it as you see fit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIF THIS LISTING SAYS \"Sold Out\" or \"Coming Soon\", this means we're in between batches!
