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.
