It's All About The Looms

  Sometimes it's like "musical looms." 
We have some looms that we loan out to new weavers until they're ready to buy a loom.  When it's the right time, the looms come back to the Center....just in time to go to another new weaver.  Thus was the case today.

  Liz had the little four harness, four treadle Harrisville, and it was time for it to come back to the Center.  It just so happens that Peggy is ready to weave at home.....just back up the car and make the exchange!
  Sadly, though, Peggy needed about two inches more space in her car.........
  She's coming back on Saturday with a pick-up truck!!!!!

Then, there's the matter of all of our old table looms.  They have been used for beginning weaving lessons for a LONG time, and we have slowly been replacing them with new looms.  Some of them are going out to the porch sale here at the Center.  We'll keep some of them for our one day classes.    Stick shuttles are being priced for the porch sale, too!

  Our folding Schacht looms are great here at the Center.  We can store them behind the large looms during the week, and move them out on Tuesdays. 

  Liz, Jocelyn and Mary are weaving on Leclerc looms while Betsy is weaving on a Macomber. 

  We do have a variety!!!!

 Carol is checking Elizabeth's loom....she's ready to start weaving!  That is one of our new Ashford table looms!

  Carl weaves on the old barn loom...they are really a treasure!  But, he needs more weft!!!!  It's a good thing Christy is preparing more blue jean legs for him to weave!

  We are so lucky to have so many great looms for weaving!  And, we have a remarkable library of books on weaving.  Sharon has a huge job keeping up with the new books, and keeping the collection tidy.  (We have a bad habit of pulling a book to look at the threading or tie up, then not putting it back in the right place!!!!)

Maybe it's really all about the weaving........
