Like with the Rick’s Beading Loom, you may want to know your finished size before starting. Once you start looming, the project size is not easily adjustable on the Clover Beading Loom. This loom is easy to use for new beaders and can be easily adjusted for both large and small beading projects. The Clover Beading Loom is quick to set up and contains two warp-thread spacing options for a perfect fit for both cylinder and round beads. But if you are working on a small project and don’t mind weaving in several warp threads, the Baby Jewel Loom is a very useful and affordable option. You can use it for smaller projects, and the warp threads will never move from their designated grooves - even if you hit a bump in the road.Īgain, this loom doesn’t have a stand. Avelar and distributed by Beadalon, is a perfect travel size option for looming. Also, this loom leaves many warp threads - which might be perfect for some clasps, but for other clasps you’ll need to spend more time weaving in the ends. If you are just learning to loom, the Jewel Loom may be a bit more difficult because there is no stand to hold it when you trying to warp the loom. In addition, the grooves keep the warp threads in place, equidistant apart. This loom is not limited to a finished size because the warp threads stretch the entire length of the loom.

Therefore, you may need to measure out the full length and cut your thread before you warp. If you are using a large spool of thread, it might not fit between the Little Ricky Beading Loom’s rods and stand. One thing you may want to know when you set up your loom is how much warp thread you will need. If you need an odd size and you are using this loom, you may need to pull on the warp threads after you finish the jewelry to reduce the warp threads. This ensures that you will get the same size of finished loomwork every time. Used for smaller projects, this loom has pre-drilled holes and pegs to set predetermined lengths. Much like the Rick’s Beading Loom, the Little Ricky Beading Loom by BeadSmith also leaves only two warp threads. However, it’s a great choice if you’re sure about the finished size of your loomwork. If you don’t know your project’s exact finished size, or you want to change sizes halfway through the project, this loom is more difficult to adjust mid-project. I ended up pushing the crossed threads to the end of the loomwork, which made the end rows much more difficult to weave in. Halfway through a project, I realized that my warp threads had crossed. The only issue I had with the Rick’s Beading Loom was that it was a bit difficult to keep my warp threads aligned.

The loom is also angled to reduce neck strain, for a wonderful looming experience. Distributed by BeadSmith, this loom is quick to assemble and can be adjusted to fit almost any project. You can adjust this loom to the specific size and then finish your piece with only two warp threads to weave in. If you already know the finished length of your project, Rick’s Beading Loom is a wonderful option. However, watch for Part II, where I test more looms - coming soon! After discovering how many beading looms are available, I was only able to try a few looms this week. Welcome to my cubicle, known for the past week as the loom test kitchen, mostly because of the mess! I started the week with a vague notion that I wanted to try different beading looms to figure out which looms work best for each kind of project. ✓ Want to learn exciting new techniques?
