Tower Road Branch

Meeting Room

Come and learn the basics of weaving with the vintage square loom to make a drink coaster.

We will use the vintage loom and fabric loops to make a drink coaster.

However, did you know these looms were not originally marketed as a toy? The looms were created by  a sock/hosiery manufacturing company to prevent waste of leftovers material during the depression. 

For more information on the history of the potholder loom:  little looms
