After a long day of work on Tuesday, I got in the car and drove north for about 2 hours. Destination: Anacortes, Washington. Purpose: to acquirer my new loom! Isn't she lovely? I had seen an ad in the "Equipment for Sale" notebook at Weaving Works that seemed like a good deal. $200. for the loom, stand, shuttles, and bench. It's a Nilus Leclerc loom, but that doesn't mean too much to me. My knowledge of looms is very limited, but this 4 harness table loom looked like just the right place for me to start. I googled this type of loom but I still can't tell what year it was made and the lady who sold had no idea. I can't wait to get started weaving!

Oh my goodness....please blog about using this!!! :-) I have a tiny child's loom and want to go bigger, would love to see what you do with this.....I can see some beautiful stuff woven from your handspun coming!!!
I haven't touched my loom once since I finished my beginner's class a few years ago. Maybe we should have a loom warping party. I need some push to get going.
Yes! we totally need to do a loom warping party! Anyone else up for that?
You'll love weaving with your handspun wool, Traci...I can hardly wait to see our projects!
yes, she is indeed lovely! have fun figuring her out. :)
Wow! She really is pretty. I recently learnt the ins and outs of weaving on a four shaft table loom like that one and it was so much fun.
Do keep us posted on how you get along!
