Mr L insisted, despite his sore back, on putting the loom together last night. We began with the stand, believing it would be by far the simpler task. Flushed with success, we moved on to the loom itself.
Plans and pieces
I should be honest – it was not 100% plain sailing and we did have some disassembling to do, but it was ultimately O.K. Here is the proof!
The Loom and Stand Together
She needs a name! The wheel is called Constance. I thought perhaps another ‘virtuous’ name for the loom? But which – Faith? Hope? Charity? or something other? you decide. Suggestions below, please.
I imagine that it will be some while before this loom sees any use; I need to learn how to warp it and I need a warping frame or mill. I suspect I’ll be needing a few other items too. But I do hope to begin practising on SpinningGill’s fixed heddle loom in the meantime.
The cats, BTW, had a splendid time overnight in destroying the packaging. I need to go and clear up the mess now.
I’m no longer keen on going to Kirkwall today – that migraine is being bothersome.
