The Hand Needleloom is the result of a request to assist in the manufacture of “Soft Paintings” or pictures created by using textile fibres. The process of needling fibres has been established for many years but the machinery involved limited the finite dimensions of the painting and was also very expensive and large for use in an artistic environment. Access to production units was also difficult.

Needling with single needles or even with a small number in a hand-held block was tedious and time consuming so the Hand Needleloom was born. Interweb made several versions during the early stages but the latest version seems to satisfy most requirements.
