Are you trying to decide if you want to get a floor loom or a Mirrix, and wondering what’s the difference? As an owner and user of both, I’m going to share the similarities and differences between the two.
Warping a Mirrix can sometimes seem intimidating to new weavers. Because of that, we came up with an easier way to warp called the “Easy Warp” method. This technique can be used for any kind of weaving you can do on a Mirrix from tapestry to bead weaving.
This is a very specific blog post but one I wanted to write because I have heard some incorrect information being shared regarding this. The question: Can you advance your weaving with a Bottom Spring Kit on your loom?

What’s a Bottom Spring Kit? A Bottom Spring Kit is a kit that allows you to put a warp coil (spring) on the bottom of your Mirrix Loom, just like you have one on the top.
Before you begin weaving on a Mirrix Loom, you need to choose the correct spring (also called a warp coil) to place on the top bar of the loom (or top and bottom if you are using a bottom spring kit).
