The easiest confirmed Loom to reach is inside Hernand Tailor’s Shop in Hernand — Looms live in tailor shops, not at Workstation spots like Greymane Camp.
The Loom is one of the crafting tools Crimson Desert added for house and outdoor decoration, and it trips people up because it looks a lot like the Workstation that arrived at the same time. If you just want to find one and start crafting fabric decor, head for a tailor shop — Hernand Tailor’s Shop is the reliable early stop. From there the only real hurdles are spotting the Loom inside the shop and unlocking a recipe so the craft list actually fills in.
Where the Loom sits in Hernand
Looms are tied to tailor shops rather than camps or sawmills, and Hernand is one of the first towns where you can walk up to one. The go-to location is Hernand Tailor’s Shop, sitting next to the Equipment Shop marker on your map, so navigate to that pair of shops if you’re hunting for your first Loom.
Once you’re inside, don’t expect the Loom to be sitting by the door. Players report it’s upstairs on the second floor, behind the tailor attendant, which is exactly why people miss it even after entering the right building. Other tailor shops around the world carry Looms too, so the rule of thumb is simple: if a settlement has a tailor, it very likely has a Loom.
How to use the Loom craft station in Crimson Desert
KEY!Once you’ve found a Loom in a Hernand tailor shop, crafting comes down to unlocking a recipe, learning it, and having the materials on hand.
STEP 1/5

Looms are mixed in with tailor shops, and Hernand is one of the first places you can reach one.
STEP 2/5
Buy or unlock a recipe
Recipes come from the town’s dye shop and interactables like the claw machine, with more blueprints unlocking over time.
STEP 3/5
Learn the recipe you obtained
A bought recipe still has to be learned before the Loom will recognize it.
STEP 4/5
Interact with the Loom
Approach the Loom and open its craft menu to see the items you’ve unlocked.
STEP 5/5
Craft your unlocked item
You can craft the decor piece as long as you have the required materials, so gather more first if you come up short.
Grab a recipe from Hernand’s dye vendor before you judge the Loom — with no learned blueprint, its craft list shows up empty and looks broken when it isn’t.

Why the Loom’s craft list looks empty
The most common “the Loom is broken” moment is opening it and seeing nothing to make. That’s expected. The Loom only shows items whose blueprints or crafting manuals you’ve already unlocked, so a fresh save with no recipes will look empty even when the station works perfectly.
Recipes come from a spread of sources: dye shops, ordinary shops, claw machines, the Box of Fortune, the Flower Basket Mission, and the Orb Roll Challenge. The Box of Fortune at the Mysterious Shop runs 100 Silver and you can buy up to 3 per restock, making it a steady way to chip away at unlocks. The Loom and Workstation both came in with update 1.12.00, which folded in the outdoor-decoration system and 58 new house items — so many of these decor recipes are gated behind manuals by design.
KEY!Unlocking a recipe still isn’t the finish line. Once it’s learned, you also need the listed materials before you can actually craft, and items can be made repeatedly as long as you keep the resources for them.
Loom versus Workstation: two different crafting tools
| Crafting tool | Where to find it | Main use |
|---|---|---|
| Loom | Tailor shops, such as Hernand Tailor’s Shop | Carpets, rugs, and fabric house decor |
| Workstation | Greymane Camp, Timberham Sawmill | Most other house decorations |
These are separate stations that people constantly swap in their heads. The Workstation handles the bulk of house decorations and lives at outdoor spots like Greymane Camp and Timberham Sawmill. The Loom is the fabric specialist — carpets, rugs, and similar cloth pieces — and it belongs to tailor shops. If you’re standing at Greymane Camp waiting for a Loom to appear, you’re at the wrong tool.
Common Loom mistakes and what to check next
Three slip-ups cover almost every “where’s the Loom” question. The first is being inside Hernand Tailor’s Shop but never heading upstairs behind the attendant, so the Loom goes unnoticed. The second is searching Greymane Camp and other camps, which only hold a Workstation. The third is expecting decor recipes to appear on their own — without the right manual, the Loom simply won’t list them.
From here, the natural next steps are tracking down a Workstation for everything the Loom can’t make, farming blueprints from dye shops and the Box of Fortune, and deciding which house pieces are worth crafting first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Loom at Greymane Camp?
No. Greymane Camp has a Workstation, not a Loom. Looms are tied to tailor shops, so use Hernand Tailor’s Shop for a dependable early option.
Do you need a recipe before using the Loom?
Yes. The Loom only displays items whose blueprint or crafting manual you’ve unlocked and learned. With none learned, the craft list stays empty — and even after learning one, you still need the required materials to craft.
Where do Loom crafting manuals come from?
They drop from several places: dye shops, ordinary shops, claw machines, the Box of Fortune (100 Silver, up to 3 per restock), the Flower Basket Mission, and the Orb Roll Challenge.
What can you craft at the Loom?
Fabric-based house decor — carpets, rugs, and similar cloth pieces for your base. One example is the Vermilion Carpet blueprint, listed around 15 Silver, though that price may still change.
