Oh, no! Not the loom!!!! It's not that old!!!!
This is the combined years of experience used for this loom operation.
Tina, Marie, Ray, Pat and Linda marked all the pieces with painter's tape, and each peg is labeled and grouped together for the future.
This loom was donated many years ago, and has always been part of the shop decoration. Several of us have woven on it during special promotions for the public to watch.
But now, space in the shop has gotten precious, and it was decided that the loom must be moved.
Thanks to Linda's knowledge of old looms, she made sure that each piece was marked for future reference.
Tina drove her pickup this morning so that the pieces could be drove around back to the Annex for storage.
This is a DREAM TEAM!
Meanwhile downstairs in the Studio, Carol helped Victoria get her warp wound on the loom, then she can start threading. Cheryl's loom is on the left. It looks like she's getting the hang of her new hobby.
Patty is winding more weft for her placemat warp. Sometimes we use five strands of 8/4 for our placemats. It's amazing all the combinations you can come up with when you use a black warp!
Betsy is getting near the end of this warp! More towels for the shop!!!!
Lunch outside in the Spring sunshine!
The temps were in the upper 70's, so that shade felt really nice! Sharon joined us a little later, and Ms. Ila and LaDonna stopped by while we were outside.
We are staying safe....but, we love being together!
Happy Weaving!
