Well done!

Now that Andi's moved out, I've got room for a loom.

*g* for starter looms, may i sugest either leclerc or harrisville? both readily available, pretty basic looms.

jack looms are the most common, and easiest to tie-up.

size - up to you. i started with a 22", decided weaving was for me, and upgraded to a 45". this 60" is intimidating, but the price was right, and i have the room.

oh, and i highly, *highly* recommed starting out with no more than 4 shafts. it's not as intimidating as more....but if you find a good deal, ignore me. *g*

seriously, you can do lots and lots of things with 4 shafts....on the loom, silly. *g* i've been weaving since...1996 or so, and i'm just now venturing into multi-shaft weaving. slowly.
