ummm...


Now what? Guess I should read the book. I thought I was just picking up the loom. But I also ended up with a wooden frame for measuring out the lengths of yarn, bobbins, things that hold the bobbins (shuttles?), a bobbin winder, and a huge batch of long thin sticks (for ?). It's already got some yarn wound onto it so I was told to (ignore the instructions in the book and) tie my linen to the ends and wind it onto the back. I was also told that when I wind the yarn off the cone and onto the wooden frame thingy that I need to put in a figure 8. So does the figure 8 go in front or behind?

ooooh! This could be fun. I've always wanted to learn how to weave!

Wow! I'd have no idea what to do with except hang dirty clothes on it. Like all the furniture in my house.

I am looking forwards to seeing the end result . I wouldn't have a clue where to start , it looks like some ancient torture implement .

I don't know the first thing about weaving, but my beach swap pal is Woven N Spun and she does amazing things with her loom. I'm sure she'd be happy to advise you if you have questions!
