<div>Greetings,</div>
<div> Remember that the larger looms take up a lot of space and ususally once they are set up they usually pretty much stay in what ever space you set aside for them. If you would like to take it on a trip even if it's just once or twice a year, take that into consideration when you build yours. The ease of taking it apart and then putting it back together will be easier on you as well as a better experiance in weaving for you and the people that your demonstrating to.</div>

<br>I'm at least familiar with the basics of weaving. I've conversed once or twice with Aerin MacConacher (aka Joanna Varner), and she has agreed to allow me to see her loom, to get details before beginning building one.<br>
<br>I have searched the internet for links to build-your-own looms, but the results were disappointing. Almost all DIY instructions only show very basic looms, for weaving belts or such. I'm hoping to build a full-width floor loom.<br>
<br>Any advice y'all have would be gladly received.<br><br><br>Hrethric/Rick<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Ansteorra-textiles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Ansteorra-textiles@lists.ansteorra.org">Ansteorra-textiles@lists.ansteorra.org</a><br>
