Featuring
Mirrix Looms
If you are looking for a loom that will provide you with a lifetime of bead weaving enjoyment, the Mirrix Tapestry and Bead Looms are the looms for you. Whether you are just learning to weave or are a seasoned bead worker, you will be completely satisfied with the precision and ease of use of a Mirrix Loom. At Mirrix Looms, the creators don't just design looms, they weave on them as well. This allows the designers to ensure that every piece of equipment manufactured will accomplish its goal: to provide the user with a loom that will allow them to easily create a professional piece of artwork.
Why You Should Buy a Mirrix Loom.
Mirrix Tapestry & Bead Looms are designed to be as functional as they are beautiful. They provide exceptional tension and are as easy to set up as they are to use. They can also serve as great portable looms! The top and bottom beams are large enough to provide enough distance between the back and front wraps to allow for easy insertion of your hands. The fold-out legs stand the looms firmly on a flat surface. The shedding device (which is standard on all but the Laniloom) works better than any other on the market and requires a flick of one hand to lock it in place. The warping system is based on a very old technique that assures the selvedge threads will not become loose or baggy while also providing a handy bar with which to advance the weaving. Each loom comes with a free Mirrix Video which, along with the written instructions, should get you through the learning curve of setting up the loom.
The LaniLoom
The eight inch wide LaniLoom is designed to accommodate the needs of bead
weavers who want a small, simple, but entirely functional bead loom and who plan
to needle weave their pieces. The weaving width is 5" and the length
is 26". The Laniloom does not have a shedding device. Warps are
separated by either the one included warp coil (14 epi - the perfect size for
11/0 or delica beads) or a string of beads tied to the top beam of the loom.
One leg folds out to stand the loom upright. Although simple, this four
pound loom is as sturdy and carefully designed as all other Mirrix looms.
It's a little smaller, a little simpler, for a pared down price. Maximum weaving
width five inches; maximum weaving height twenty-six inches.
Little Guy Lap & Table Loom
The smallest Mirrix loom with a shedding device is only 12 inches wide, and
weighs in at a featherweight of 5 pounds. Don't be fooled by its size: the
Little Guy is as strong and durable as any loom Mirrix makes. He's just a
little smaller so you can weave on the go. A tapestry or bead piece
9" wide and 22" high can be woven on him. Although he is great
for use as a tapestry loom, this is a favorite size among bead weavers.
Mirrix's littlest loom is extremely portable and provides a maximum weaving
width of 9 inches wide and approximately 22 inches high. Put him on your
lap, or stand him on a table. He comes with a shedding device and 8, 12,
14 & 18 dent warp coils.
Little
Guy Lap & Table Loom (Without Shedding Device)
For those dedicated bead weavers who like to bead weave in the traditional
fashion. A shedding device can be purchased at a later date.
Big
Sister Lap & Table Loom
At 16 inches wide and a little less than 6 pounds, she's bigger and has been
around longer than her little brother. Bigger does not always mean a lot
more expensive. A tapestry 13 inches wide and approximately 30 inches high
can be woven on this compact loom. She can fit in a large canvas bag and
like her little brother is well acquainted with travel in airplanes, cars and
trains. Bead weavers who want that extra width or use combined tapestry
and beading techniques will find this loom very appealing. She also works
as well on your lap as standing on a table and, like her little brother comes
with a shedding device and 8, 12, 14 & 18 dent warp coils.

The
ZachLoom
Light and sturdy, the 22 inch loom provides a larger weaving width and length
than the lap looms while remaining light and portable. The table loom will
not fit in a briefcase, but it is light enough to take to a workshop and easily
stores in a closet. The 22 inch loom weighs in at a mere 11 pounds and
provides a 19 inch weaving width and approximately 40 inches in weaving
length. Like all our dedicated tapestry/bead looms, the shedding device is
included along with the following warp coils: 8, 12, 14, & 18 dents per
inch.
The
JoniLoom
Weighing in at only 14 pounds, the 32 inch loom is easily carted from room to
room, the summer cottage, or to a workshop. Large enough to weave a piece
29 inches wide and approximately 44 inches long, this loom is a favorite among
people who want the size of a small floor loom but not the hassle, expense, and
bulk. This loom is engineered slightly differently than the other three
looms, providing a double top and lower beam for extra strength. The
shedding device and 8, 12, 14 &18 dent springs are included.
The
ZeusLoom
This is as big as a portable Mirrix Loom gets. Inspired by a customer who wanted
a big enough loom to weave a standard Navajo size rug, we designed this loom for
those of you who think big. Engineered just like the 32 inch loom, the 38 inch
loom will satisfy those of you who really wanted a floor loom but could not
justify the expense or give up all that space to house it. On this 38 inch wide
loom you can weave a piece 35 inches wide and 46 inches long. A shedding device
and 8, 12, 14 & 18 dents warp coils are included.
