Backstrap Weaving

Backstrap weaving is one of the early versions of weaving that is commonly used in various cultures around the world. The backstrap loom, also known as Loin loom in certain parts of the world, is a lightweight, mobile loom made of wood and a strap that is wrapped around the back. It only needed to be attached to a table or a tree or a post for stability and to provide tension. This loom is predominantly used by women weavers in the seven north-eastern states of India. Because the strap is wrapped around the back, usually fabrics of maximum width of 22 inches can be woven. Backstrap looms offer a lot of flexibility in replicating abstract geometric patterns and usage of colours in the weft leading to eye-catching patterns.
