Pre-Order The Oxford Frame Loom
We are currently offering a pre-order of The Oxford Frame Loom and its coordinating weaving accessories at a special introductory price. Pricing for the pre-order is incredibly competitive and there is limited product availability at this price.
You can purchase The Oxford Frame Loom over on our weaving workshop and supplies website, here.
The looms are being crafted by local furniture design duo Lula James, so delivery of the pre-order is currently expected for mid June. Please bear this in mind when making your purchase.

The X-Large loom will have the same features and design as the Medium loom, with the exception of additional channels on the side frames to re-position the heddle bar in the middle of the frame and an overall square shape.

Exciting New Features for The Oxford Frame Loom
New, Double Sided Heddle Bars
- Weave 2 projects at the same time
- Set the loom up to weave Double Cloth designs (ie. vertical or horizontal pockets, pleats, extra warps etc)
- Weave 2 sides of a project simultaneously (ie. X-mas stockings, pouches, lavender sachets, cushions)
- Deep and wide grooves where the warp sits are on both sides of the Heddle Bar, making it possible to wind on a longer warp or thicker yarns while maintaining tension
- Add in a extra warp using the reverse side of the Heddle bar or adding an extra Heddle Bar (purchased separately)
New, Adjustable Heddle Bars
- Adjust your warp tension by sliding the Heddle Bar up or down
- Adjust your Heddle Bar to the lowest position to create smaller projects so as not to waste yarn
- Add a 2nd Heddle Bar to tie in an extra warp of a different length, quality or thickness
- Remove top or bottom Heddle Bars and position to weave longer projects using clamps (purchased separately) (think scarves, lampshades and plant pot holders)
Versatile Heddle Bar with Spacing Options at 2, 4, 8 or 16 EPI
- Weave Tapestries using the 2 or 4 EPI (spacing between warp threads) to cover your warp with your weft yarn
- Weave finer cloth when sett at 8 or 16 EPI (spacing between warp threads)
- Save your project details and transfer your design to weave on a hand or floor loom as our loom sett works with traditional and contemporary commercial hand-weaving looms.
Frame loom can be dis-assembled, transported and stored with ease
- Dis-assemble the loom completely for easy storage and transportation
- Handy clasp ring can be attached to the loom to store weaving tool set and wing nuts when not in use

Solid, Sustainable, Hardwood Design Constructed by local craftsmen Lula James
- Premium quality construction by Lula James, local Oxfordshire furniture designers as seen on the BBC
- The Oxford Loom features locally sourced solid Beech hardwood
- Constructed of sustainable hard wood, with each piece chosen for its quality and strength
- Natural Beech finish
A Uniquely Designed Frame Loom where details matter
- The raised warp on the front face makes it easier to insert your weaving tools as it clears the side frames.
- Heddle Bars are reversible and can be flipped over on the reverse to raise the face of the woven project above the side frames for easier weaving
- Smooth wood surface avoids snagging yarns
- Heddle bar design ensures they sit snugly in the channels on the side frames to maintain even warp tension and a square shape when weaving so projects remain square
- Easy to loosen and remove wing nuts when adjusting or re-positioning the Heddle Bars
- A 2nd channel features midway on the large loom to re-position the Heddle Bar for smaller projects or adding in a third Heddle bar to maintain the weaving width more easily
