    Looks fascinating and a bit intimidating but definitely interesting!

    Thanks for visiting! I think the most intimidating bit is getting it all ready :)

    Thank for this Rachel. I've recently decided that I need to learn to weave and this was a handy start.

    What a fascinating lens about looms. I have pieces of wood in my 1840 Vermont Farmhouse that I have often wondered if possibly they were pieces to a loom. They are beautifully crafted by hand, wrapped in paper and tied with a string. No instructions here either. I can hardly wait to see a picture of your loom all set up with at least the beginnings of a woven piece of fabric.

    Lensrolled to Garner Rix and the Royalton Raid, a Unit Study that takes you back in time to life in the 1780's when all cloth was woven by hand.

    Thanks for visiting!! I really ought to update this lens - I have had a little go at trying to weave something on it but I need to get some smoother thread to use. I'm still not convinced I've put everything in its right place - and there are extra bits I'm not sure about either!

    Will lensroll back - what an amzing lens yours is! :)
