Art Weaver SAORI Studio is an internationally registered and authorised SAORI dealer.

We can supply you with SAORI weaving looms and products to meet your needs.

 

In our experience, we have found the most popular loom is the SAORI WX60 loom.  It is beautifully designed and easy to use and we keep regular stock of this model in our studio here.

 

The fixed frame  CH60A-2 loom (wheelchair accessible & height adjustable) is a great option for anyone who has physical limitations. These SAORI  loom models are available for you to use at Art Weaver SAORI Studio.

 

SAORI® is the trademark of the Sakaiseikisangyo Company in Osaka, Japan. It covers the principles, the method of teaching and the manufacture of looms and equipment.

 

 

Assembly and adjustment of all looms is done by our in-house loom expert. See below for an overview of the specifics of the SAORI WX60 and the last of the SAORI Piccolo40 loom (production discontinued Dec 2024).

Please contact me for details of the SAORI CH60 and SAORI CH6A.
