About AVL
AVL Looms has been in the business of designing and building some of the
world’s finest handweaving looms since 1977.
Jim Ahrens had been building and designing looms for a number of years
before Jon Violette, the “V” in AVL, approached Ahrens about a partnership
in 1977. Violette, an industrial management professional, had discovered
Ahrens’ work through his sister who ran the Pacific Basin School of Textiles
in Berkeley, where Ahrens was a volunteer advisor.
The two men worked together in the Bay Area for three years until Violette
moved Ahrens and Violette Looms to Chico, where it officially became known
as AVL Looms Inc., and has operated ever since.
The Rug Loom Design Concept
The Rug Loom is designed for professional rug weavers. Starting at four feet
and available up to 20 feet, this loom offers enough width for any of your
needs.
The four foot and six foot rug loom are made of wood. The eight foot rug
loom has wood side frames with steel cross members for strength. Looms
wider than eight feet are made mostly of steel.
The AVL rug loom has several components which are air driven and require
an air compressor to be hooked up to the loom. As with all AVL looms, the
rug loom can be customized to fit your needs.
