The past several months I’ve been thinking about the next craft I’d like to learn. I thought it would obviously be spinning. After all, I do crochet and knit. I knit more than I crochet. However the stronger pull for me is loom weaving. I’ve been researching looms and I do believe I’ve found one that I’d like to purchase. The loom size will be at least 32″ and I will most likely will purchase it soon, who knows it might be an item that I gift for myself this Christmas.
While viewing videos about modern looms, I stumbled upon this gem. It’s a vintage loom. I imagine this is similar to what Laura Ingalls Wilder’s husband (Almanzo Wilder) mother used in her farm home.
I also stumbled upon this video about intricate loom weaving, truly fascinating!
You find some of the most interesting videos! LOVE them! Thanks for sharing! I’m reading the posts a little backwards so I see you purchased one – I’m looking forward to your creations and experiments!

No… I’m not going to abandon my Hiya Hiya knitting needles forever, but I most likely will put them on hold for a bit until I get comfortable with loom weaving. I did the same when I was learning crochet. Knitting was sidelined, for a few months, until I got comfortable with crochet. […]
