Top 6 Bead Looms

By Paula S. Morgan, About.com

Beading looms range for the most basic cardboard box loom through the most sophisticated heddle loom. There are adjustable, upright, flat, lap, desk and easel type looms. They all serve a purpose, and all of them are great for a particular style and type of beading. Here's a list of my favorites!

1. Mirrix "Big Sister" Beading Loom

The Mirrix is one fantastic loom, with lots of optional equipment available. Can be used with a shedding device and heddles. Great new stand available, too.

2. Larry the Loom

I love the versatility of Larry the Loom. Use it on a table edge, standing or flat. Easy to warp, easy to assemble and easy to use. This is one great loom!

3. Tube Looms by Sharon Bateman

These four little tube looms will reinvent the way you do bracelets, Amulet bags, tubular peyote and other small loom or frame type projects.

4. Lap Loom by Bead Artistry

I love this loom both for table top and for lap use. Works very well in a lap, with a nice tray for holding beads and supplies.

5. Bear Cat Loom and Stand

Terrific loom and loom stand. Great for split loom necklaces and for making long loomed pieces. The stand is a perfect height for me and makes looming even more comfortable. Loom can be used without the stand, too.

6. Bear Cub Loom

My favorite for small projects such as tiny pouches, bracelets and chokers. Has a detachable leg, stores flat. Great for travel.
