ABOUT AroT
Discover AroT — Wooden Weaving Looms and Tools for Artisanal Textiles
At AroT, we design and create all kinds of craft tools and looms for working with felt, marbling, and textile art. Our workshop in Barcelona is dedicated to rethinking and improving every weaving loom we produce — starting from the prehistoric loom to the wooden weaving looms of today — always with a clear purpose: to enhance the craftsmanship experience.
Discover AroT — Wooden Weaving Looms and Tools for Artisanal Textiles
We make handcrafted looms in various shapes and sizes:
– The Patch System: allows you to weave and join fabrics to create patchwork directly on the loom.
– The Radial Looms: circular looms that begin from a central point.
– The Big Looms: complex systems for ambitious fabric art projects.
Whether you are using a manual loom, industrial loom, or a wooden loom for weaving, all our models are made by hand with natural materials, designed for handwoven fabrics, artisanal textiles, and textile craftsmanship.

When you work with looms, you’re not only weaving fibers — you’re weaving creativity, mindfulness, and tradition. Knitting, hand knitting, and weaving with looms train both hand and brain.
As William Morris believed, a hand-made work produces pleasure and satisfaction for those who create it, while mechanized work is repetitive and blocks any creative freedom. And maybe, we’re not so far from that time …
In today’s fast-paced, digital, and globalized world, picking up a wooden loom or a loom shuttle is an act of reconnection — with ourselves, with the past, and with the handmade textiles we once treasured.
Textile Tools to Learn, Preserve and Recover Fine Motor Skills
At AroT, we design handcrafted looms and tools that go far beyond textile production. Each wooden loom, each manual loom, is created to help people learn, preserve, and recover essential fine motor skills. From prehistoric looms to modern wooden weaving looms, our instruments are not just tools for weaving — they’re tools for growth.
When we perform small movements — with fingers, wrists, or hands — we’re using our fine motor skills, a complex system of precision we begin to master around ages 6 to 12. These skills take years to refine. They are not automatic; they are learned. That’s why it is crucial, especially in early childhood, to engage in manual work and textile craftsmanship.
Looms and Craftsmanship for Developing Precision through Movement and Textile Art
Weaving with looms, hand knitting, and crafting handwoven fabrics are excellent ways to strengthen these abilities. Our wooden looms for weaving, from scarf looms to industrial looms, are designed to stimulate both mind and body — to create artisanal textiles while exercising memory and coordination.
And it doesn’t stop with children. Over time, we risk losing what we’ve learned — due to injury, illness, or disuse. But the hands can remember. Through craft, we can recover forgotten abilities.
This philosophy is the foundation of our work. Whether you’re using an antique loom, a loom shuttle, or one of our homemade looms, you’re not just creating loom-woven fabrics or handmade textiles — you’re reconnecting with your own capacity for movement, concentration, and creativity.
Three key words guide our craft:
learn, keep and recover
So whether you’re here to buy a loom, explore used looms for sale, or simply reignite your love for fabric art, our tools are built to serve your journey.
