I saw some wonderful looms when I went to the Shawford guild meeting a few weeks ago, I steered well clear of them, spinning is enough for me at the moment!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701994117292978986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-52268843772271937122012-10-14T22:57:26.471+01:002012-10-14T22:57:26.471+01:00No, never tried braiding but it does look interest...No, never tried braiding but it does look interesting.

The loom on the left is 'Tablet or Card weaving' dates back to the early Iron Age. I think it is very clever patterns are made by turning the cards, containing the warp threads in sequences...I can't do it! The loom on the left is like the large 'Driad Inkle loom' that the blue and white strap was made on. There must be hundreds of these items stuck in garages and attics and people do not know what to do with them. I have finished my 'strap/braid' tonight but I need to 'google' how to get it off the loom! Tis stuck! lol xxxIntheskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872933009509406305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-18565939514413382562012-10-14T22:33:16.895+01:002012-10-14T22:33:16.895+01:00Thans Joan, I think weaving should make it's w...Thans Joan, I think weaving should make it's way back on the curriculum! :) x Intheskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872933009509406305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-88502773994793590112012-10-14T21:43:55.911+01:002012-10-14T21:43:55.911+01:00Now I know the name of that long loom from my last...Now I know the name of that long loom from my last Wool Gathering post! You can see an example of a rainbow colored strap being done up there. I can only imagine how long it must take to warp one of those things! I really like the white and blue one you have shown up above. Very pretty colors together. I love hand-me-downs :) I'm glad that lady was able to learn something new and make use of a special item.
