    I'm not sure I understand the title, does looming help you think or something? I don't really have much inherent interest in looming, but I would have a lot of interest in that

    tl;dr This is a project page describing a small hand woven loom. Small, means a little wider than a palm and maybe half the length of a forearm (depending on which you buy). Basically, you will run a string between two circular combs along the length of the stand and weave a separate thread or yarn horizontally many times to make a piece of fabric. These seem to cost at least 100$.

      The frames are $80 or $140. The circular combs are only $20.
