Abstract
A modular hand loom includes a plurality of links having pegs extending from the links. The plurality of links may be connectable with one another to form a plurality of loom configurations for knitting and/or weaving. When the plurality of links are assembled into a desired loom configuration, some links may be configured to remain rotatable relative to an adjacent link thereby causing the loom to be flexible during use.
Claims26
A modular hand loom, comprising:
- a plurality of links being connectable with one another to form a plurality of loom configurations for knitting and/or weaving, each link including elongate knitting pegs,
- wherein each link has a first end with a first connector and a second end with a second connector, each first connector being removably connectable to the second connector of an adjacent link,
- wherein the plurality of links includes a first link and a second link, the first link being rotatable relative to the second link when directly connected to the second link, and
- wherein, when the plurality of links is assembled into a desired loom configuration, the first link is configured to remain rotatable relative to the second link while the first link is connected to the second link, such that the relative positioning of the knitting pegs on the first link is continuously changeable relative to the positioning of the knitting pegs on the second link thereby causing the loom to be flexible during use.
