Toika Eeva floor loom in birch

Toika Eeva loom: the big one among the classics

The Toika Eeva is a traditional countermarch floor loom with modern workmanship and generous dimensions, perfect for demanding weaving projects. As the larger version of the proven Toika Liisa, the Eeva offers more space and more stability. The generous, open side access makes setting up, warping and adjusting the loom particularly comfortable.

With the Eeva you choose between a floor-standing and a hanging beater at the same price. What matters is not so much the thread density as the type of fabric: if the fabric needs to be beaten very firmly, for example rugs or dense fabrics, the floor-standing beater is the better choice. Light fabrics such as fine scarves can also have a very high thread density. But since they are light and do not need a particularly strong beat, the hanging beater is often the more comfortable choice.

Whether for professional use or ambitious hand weaving at home, the Eeva is robust, functional and built to last.
