Toika Eeva Loom – The Great among the Classics
The Toika Eeva is a traditional floor loom with modern craftsmanship and generous dimensions – perfect for demanding weaving projects. As the larger version of the proven Toika Liisa, the Eeva offers more space, more stability, and a practical hanging beater (upper beater) as standard, enabling fast and efficient work.
An optional floor-standing beater is also available – ideal if you want maximum flexibility. Simply choose the right beater for your project: the hanging beater for delicate, lightweight fabrics, and the floor-standing beater for sturdy fabrics or carpets. The generous, open side access allows for particularly comfortable threading, dressing, and adjustment of the loom.
Whether for professional use or ambitious hand weaving at home – the Eeva is robust, functional, and built to last.
