I have 2 looms-this one takes the whole dining room! I also have a portable which folds to fit in my car. I started weaving when as a child I learned to darn socks, and made all sorts of looms of my own sometimes out of very basic materials.
A loner, I played with tools such as grass and anything I could find with which to weave. I did not get a loom until my children had become independent, but I had been using a spinning wheel for years.
Then I did a 3 year Weaving Course. I cant stop intertwining threads in one form or another. I dont know where it comes from and I am afraid of spiders--the greatest weavers of all!.
