HOW TO CHOOSE
How to tell if the Vertical loom is the right one for you? Generally speaking, on this kind of loom you can weave anything you wish, from a Persian rug to a bridal veil; the Greeks beat the fabric from bottom to top, the Egyptians from top to bottom, someone used it horizontally, someone else vertically, but for everybody this was the "loom".
Today the vertical loom is used almost exclusively to make carpets and tapestries, where it is still unrivalled. You can find it in a specialized boutique, in a shopping center or in a suk, but you will not be able to find a nice Kilim or a good carpet that has been woven or knotted on a loom other than the vertical one.
If you like the beaten fabrics with free patterns, this is the loom of your choice.
