This 14 hook Speedweve style darning loom is a replica of the original mending looms designed in the 1940s and 1950s. They are a clever, practical, mending tool designed to be able to raise alternate threads in a row of warp (vertical) threads in order to make it quicker and easier to lay in the weft threads.
This 14 hook size loom will make patches about 2" wide and 6 inch long. It comes in a re-usable storage bag, extra long darning and ladder needles with step by step instructions (English and with photographs).
Although intended for mending small holes in clothing and household fabrics, these looms are also fun for creative fibre art uses. It is possible to create shaped patches and small pockets as well as functional squares and rectangle. By combining thread textures and colours you have nearly unlimited creative possibility.
