table loom

Small weaving device

A table loom is a small weaving loom designed to sit on a table or other flat surface, as opposed to floor looms that stand independently.

Table looms are portable and compact, making them popular with beginners, hobbyists, and weavers with limited space: She learned the basics on a table loom before investing in a floor model.

They typically have fewer shafts than floor looms and use hand levers rather than foot treadles to raise the warp threads.
