I just had a lovely email from a lady asking me for where I sourced my frame looms etc. 

I bought all of mine from a lady called Heikes, here: https://heikes-handgewebtes.de/shop/schulwebrahmen-30::1284.html

At the time, I did a deep dive into this and found that she uses the same looms as other companies, but at a much cheaper price. Her website isn’t the best, and you’ll need to translate everything into German when contacting her, but I can honestly say I had a great experience with her.

I also bought a few things from them – including some shuttles which were great.

I also contacted this guy – called Meta Weaving Looms (https://www.weavingloomsmeta.be/home/index.php) and would have bought his small table looms had I continued. I have seen an example of one of his looms and it was lovely.

 

For bobbins – I actually found a company on Alibaba in China. Link here: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Hand-Crafted-Wooden-Tapestry-Bobbin_62474040081.html?spm=a2700.shop_plser.41413.16.47387459nINWwl

 

I will always have a soft spot for the New Zealand company Ashford Wheels and Looms. Not only was I a stockist for them for a period of time, which I loved, I have also bought table looms, shuttles and tapestry warp thread from them – all of which have been of a high quality. They have a list of their global stockists here.

If I go back to the UK I have ordered from World of Wool, and also AireDaleYarns (though at time of writing their website did not seem to be working?).

 

As I live in Portugal however I generally use these EU based suppliers –

 

LindenTea – https://lindentea.eu/

Welcome Yarn – https://welcomeyarn.pt/

Senshoku _ https://www.senshoku.es/pt/ (though their site is only available in Spanish or Portuguese).
