Flying8 focuses on the weaving person.
The loom is ergonomic, silent, light and has good lighting.

The weaving method is clear, uncomplicated, fast and modern.
Loom and accessories do not have to be expensive, (almost) everything can be built by yourself.
For whom is Flying8 weaving interesting?

Flying8 looms can be found in universities, weaving mills and living rooms all over the world.

A Flying8 loom uses far fewer resources and takes up less space than comparable normal looms.
