Last week we talked about how to buy a weaving loom and all the considerations you might run through in your head as part of making that decision. Now part of that conversation is about making the loom fit your needs, even if on paper it’s the most fanciest most awesome loom out there, you can still tweak it for you and your own needs.
On today’s Taking Back Friday vlog episode, I want to show you what I did to my Schacht Baby Wolf Loom to fit my needs. A loom can be a big investment, and so you don’t want to feel like you’ve invested all this space and resources into something that doesn’t fit you perfectly.
I would also love to hear from you if you’ve ever done your own modifications to your loom to make them fit for you, or work better for you.
IN THIS EPISODE
- what I’m wearing: Chauncey designed by Isabell Kraemer — I knit this in SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock in Marine + a Party of Five mini-skein set in Gemstone. For this sweater, I also used the Chiaogoo Bamboo SPIN knitting needles.
- which loom I’m talking about today: Today I’m talking about adjustments I made to my cherry Schacht Baby Wolf Loom.
- are you interested in learning more about weaving? We have many courses for that! There are a number of weaving courses, tutorials and patterns on the School of SweetGeorgia to help you begin your weaving journey. From weaving circles on an embroidery hoop, frame loom weaving, or tapestry weaving through to weaving on a multishaft loom or working with and incorporating handpainted yarns in your weaving in Handwoven Colour.
Is there supposed to be a video with the Taking Back Fridays, June 26, on using Texsolv heddles in place of rigid heddles?
Actually, I did find the video link, but it doesn’t show up very clearly on my monitor. Maybe consider making it more obvious? Thanks.
