Toika Jaana loom

Toika Jaana loom – compact and powerful

The Toika Jaana is a high-quality countermarch loom made of lacquered Finnish birch and the more compact sister of the proven Toika Liisa. It offers the same weaving width (80 cm or 100 cm), but is smaller in all dimensions and made from slightly slimmer timber profiles. This makes it ideal for smaller spaces without compromising on stability and weaving comfort.

Thanks to its sophisticated design and high-quality workmanship, the Jaana is suitable for both ambitious hobby weavers and professional workshops.

Jaana vs. Liisa – The difference at a glance

The Jaana is smaller in all dimensions than the Liisa and is made from slightly slimmer timber profiles. The Liisa is more robustly built overall and offers more upgrade options: it can be fitted with a double warp beam or back beam, supports up to 24 or 32 shafts (in the longer version), and allows more flexible use of the hanging beater. Those planning for maximum flexibility and expandability in the long term should choose the Liisa. Those looking for a compact, stable, and high-quality countermarch loom for smaller spaces are perfectly served by the Jaana.

Why the Toika Jaana is the right choice:

Compact dimensions: Ideal for those who have limited space but do not want to miss out on the advantages of a countermarch loom.
Weaving width: Despite the smaller footprint, you can weave fabrics up to 100 cm wide.
Stability & quality: Made from lacquered Finnish birch wood – durable, stable, and built for many years of weaving pleasure.
Flexibly adaptable: Available with 4 or 8 shafts – suitable for a wide variety of fabric types.
Lasting craftsmanship: Solid wood and traditional construction ensure stability and long-term use.
