“The quality of their looms is beyond compare. I purchased my first Foxfire loom in 2020. I wanted a smaller second loom. A second order and Foxfire did not disappoint.”
Why beaders keep coming back
It grows with the project
The work area expands. One recent Gerdan-style loom opens from 12″ to 29″, another from 10″ to 21″, so a bracelet and a long panel can share the same loom.
Built to your size
Widths of 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″ and more. Ask for a custom size; buyers report it was made at no extra cost.
Wrap-around ready
The screws on the wooden bar come out, so you can run wrap-around projects. The Gerdan-style looms come with their own stand.
One of a kind
Every loom is numbered and handmade in the Groetkens' own workshop; Ken is an experienced woodworker and designer. When one sells, it is gone.

Design it here. Weave it there.
Krazy Stitcher's Loom stitch lays your pattern out on a square grid, row by row, the way it comes off the warp. Set the pattern width to the number of beads across your loom, check the colors and bead counts, and print the chart to keep beside you while you weave.

What other beaders say
Five-star reviews from the shop's Etsy page, quoted as written.
“I requested a custom size and it was made at no extra cost. The workmanship has been done with great precision and the quality of the wood used is excellent. It was easy to assemble and I love using it!”
“I do Delica/Seed Bead work and was looking for a loom I could expand into larger/longer projects on. This was absolutely worth the money and I love how easy it is to adjust the length of the working space.”
“Since it was a custom request, they called to confirm I understood what I was asking for and how to actually use this adjustable loom when adjusting for project sizes.”
“The quality is over than promised. The loom was perfectly packed… The loom was easy to build. And it is soooo big and soooo fine. The possibilities will be amazing with it.”
“This is actually my second loom from this shop… I needed a smaller one for small projects and to take around with me. I use seed beads (size 11/0) and these work fantastically for them.”
“As described and better, easy to assemble!”
