Care and Maintenance

To keep your loom in excellent condition for many years, we recommend:

Avoid using abrasive or wet products on the wood.
If you wish, you may occasionally apply a natural oil suitable for wood to nourish and protect it.
Check the tension of the heddles or reed according to use.
Store the loom in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight when not in use.
For folding models, close the loom correctly to avoid twisting.
