About us
A path woven together:
Clare started her weaving path almost seventeen years ago in Norway. There she set-up floor looms for handicap women to weave. Those clacky wooden looms hit some heart strings and she was hooked. Life was on the road those days and for years to come so she found a solution, the backstrap loom. She made them from whatever she could, but mostly of cardboard. Once her and Edgars dug some roots in the country (or rather middle of the woods) they started their crafting ''career'', maybe more better stated as lifestyle, and now here in the shop you see the results and continuation.
We design and make the tools. And from the very birth of the tools. He fells the trees down, mills them on his self built sawmill, and the process continues until somebody on the other side of the earth finds the tool in their hands and makes beautiful creations.
At Harvest Looms, our goal is to create heirloom-quality weaving tools—crafted with care from the very trees we sustainably harvest from our own forest. Every heddle, shuttle, and loom bar is made with intention, shaped not only by our hands but by our deep respect for the land that provides for us.
There is nothing more fulfilling for us than knowing that these tools will go on to be part of something meaningful—used to create beautiful, lasting woven pieces that are cherished, gifted, and shared. We see each tool as a bridge: between nature and maker, tradition and creativity, tree and thread.
When you weave with our tools, you're not just continuing an ancient craft—you’re also honoring the story of the tree and the people who shaped it into something enduring.
