Peg Hansen’s warp weighted loom.

Peg Hansen & Melba Granlund

The upright warp weighted loom has been used in Scandinavia since the 4th century A.D. Early on, it was used to weave linen and woolen cloth for clothing, as well as ryas and varafels used as cloaks for warmth. Peg and Melba will be demonstrating these techniques on two different sizes of warp weighted looms.
