<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any recommendations concerning
Inkle Looms (table size, not floor size)? Where I should get one, how much
they should cost, etc.? Is there anyone out there who would
like to sell me one or loan me one to try (whether you made it or bought
it)? I have looked on the Internet and they are in the $50 to $70
range new, but my concern is that I can't always tell what kind of wood they are
made of or how sturdy they might be. One of the members of the Textiles
list has been very helpful and she indicated that I needed one made of a
hardwood like Oak or Maple if possible, and that the wood for her homemade
one cost $100. One of the most reasonable ones on line is made of
New Zealand birch, which I know nothing about, so I don't know if it
is really a good investment or not. Although my husband Robert has
wordworking equipment in the garage, he is killing himself right now working six
days a week and doing all the cooking, laundry etc. while I am laid up with the
broken leg. So it would not be a good time to ask him to make me one
unless I want it next year. </FONT></DIV>
