A tapestry loom is a specialized weaving tool used to create tapestries, which are decorative pieces of fabric often depicting scenes or patterns. Unlike traditional looms, tapestry looms allow for intricate designs and detailed images by enabling the weaver to manipulate individual threads. This type of loom can be vertical or horizontal, depending on the desired outcome and the weaver's preference. The process of weaving on a tapestry loom involves interlacing colored threads to form the desired design. Weavers often use techniques such as weft and warp to create texture and depth in their work. Tapestry weaving has a rich history, with notable examples found in various cultures, including Medieval Europe and Ancient Persia.
