In 1982, you could hop down to your nearest Ikea and pick up a whole-ass loom for 2075 kr. (About $750 in 2025 US dollars), or a wee tabletop version for 395 kr.

I have a feeling the difficulty of home assembly might've contributed to it being missing from the catalogue from 1983 on...

Page 202 from the Swedish 1982 Ikea catalogue.

The title proclaims "Nu har alla råd med en vävstol." (Now everyone can afford a loom.)

The picture below is of a decently large loom made of pine, in the process of weaving a very colorful blanket or rug. The word "Nyhet!" (New!) is written across the top of the picture in a script-y typeface.

Next to it is the description:

"En välgjord och gedigen fyrskaftsvävstol av massiv obe handlad furu. Här kan du väva gardiner, handdukar, plock- och mönstervävar, mattor m m. Det här följer med: Höj- och sänkbar pall, 2 lunor, 2 skafthållare, 8 solv käppar, 4 nickepinnar, 4 lattor, 2 skälstickor, 2 förknytningskäppar, 24 bomspröt, 6 trampor och 500 solv och uppknytningssnören.

(A well-made and solid four-shaft loom made of solid untreated pine.

The page also has pictures and descriptions of weaving accessories, and at the bottom a much smaller desktop-sized loom with an optional floor stand.

This is the AdLib/OPL2 version of Loom's soundtrack, a fantasy graphic adventure by Lucasfilm Games, where you play as Bobbin Threadbare, using magical musical drafts to manipulate reality. Its hauntingly beautiful soundtrack arranged by George Sanger and Eric Hammond elevates the immersive experience.

I closed my eyes. And in that moment, I realized this wasn't merely the sound of weaving fabric. It was the fundamental pulse of human progress. The very same sound that built empires, composed symphonies, and launched discoveries.
the sound of how civilizations began: the relentless, rhythmic heartbeat of repetitive discipline and consistent effort. This is the sound of creation itself.
