The weaver shown in this picture is threading the heddles on the foot powered loom. Although weaving looms today have advanced technology features, we still have to thread each warp thread through each heddle one by one!
Two nomads from the Zoreh valle in central-southern Iran busily at work weaving a kilim. Carpet weaving and knotting is still one of the main economic activities of the nomadic tribes of Iran.
The Future Craft Weaving Loom is a 16-harness AVL Loom. The more harnesses you have, the more detailed of a textile pattern you can weave. Here we are weaving a star pattern using all 16 harnesses with bamboo and cotton yarn. Bamboo is a silky, sustainable fiber that is breathable as well as luxurious. The star pattern was then cut and sewn into the Bamboo Star Hat, the Bamboo Star Cropped Jacket and the Bamboo Star Jacket.
