If you want to build your own pin loom(s), my husband designed a number of templates in various sizes with the “standard” 1/8-inch spacing. He has also included some with different space measurements between the pins (see individual patterns for pin spacing information).
Example of a template. Please MEASURE your printout to make sure it’s printed the correct size.

Just discovered your site thanks to your post on Pin Loom Weaving Support Group today. I’m in LOVE!! Thank you so much for all the fine info you are sharing!!
You’re very welcome. Let me know if you have questions or ideas for blog posts.
Are there any templates out there to make 5X7 weavies? We are making blankets for veterans and that is the size we need.
I would recommend making two copies of the 5″ square and then cutting and pasting to make it 7″ on the two long sides. That’s usually how I design my own looms.
Thank you so much! I’ve wanted pin looms for years but could never afford to buy one (let alone the multiple I wanted). My dad and I made four pin looms using your templates as a guide.
Eventually I want to try utilizing cross stitch patterns to make images (using small squares) to use on blankets. I’ll probably start with just a washcloth at first though lol.
Thanks again!
So happy to hear this. I’ve seen some really nice stitchery things done on pin loom squares. Sounds like you’ll have a lot of fun with it.
WOW. My hubby would love to have a go at these. I love my looms, but they get a bit expensive to get Australia.
