    What do you mean weaving denim? Are you weaving a twill? Because denim jeans fabric is woven in a twill. Or are you weaving denim strips? As in rag weaving.
    If you are doing a twill a four harness loom will do the job. They come in many widths. I personally use a 36" wide Schacht floor loom. You can also weave a double thickness on a narrower loom, but that is somewhat confusing.
