Looms:
-A picture frame with twenty nails set evenly over two inches (10 nails per inch). The frame should be at least 14" tall.
-A Mirrix Loom without a shedding device
-A Saffron Pocket Loom WITH a longer rod
-A Mirrix Loom without 10 dent warp coil
If you do not have a 10 dent coil, you can use a 20 dent coil warped every other dent or an 8 dent coil. If you use the 8 dent coil, you'll need to manually adjust your sett to accommodate the beads.
-A Mirrix Loom larger than the 22" Zach Loom
A larger Mirrix will work for this project, but you may need to purchase more warp (the bead cord.)
If using a loom without a shedding device, the set-up and weaving process will be slightly different in that you will needle weave (over and under your warp threads) both the beads and fiber in this piece.
