Weave it looms were made from the 30’s through to the 70’s. They’re wonderful little looms, and people love them.
Sadly, the Donar and then Scoville companies stopped producing them. There was a lot of excitement when Buxton Brooks bought the patent and started producing them.
I’m not sure what’s going on with BB, but a lot of folks are very disappointed that phonecalls and emails aren’t being answered. I’ve sent several emails, and haven’t heard back.

So, imagine my delight this morning, when I was googling for something else and discovered that someone is now making a version of the 4 x4 loom. They are very careful to not make any references to the old Weave it looms, but …. but….
I just sent an email to Jane at The Spinning Wheel Yarn Shop, and they’re planning on working with the Arbor looms for a long time. They’re getting them made in the community where they live, so they won’t have the production problems of dealing with international companies.
I wish them the greatest of success with their looms!
PS: Gotta say it: NO AFFILIATION to the company, and no profit in blogging about them. Also, I haven’t held the loom in my hand, but the photos look good.
