Thanks, both of you! I should add that I'm actually in the US; I am just assuming that they're more likely to be adopted on the far side of the Atlantic first. :) Also, I did not realize there was

There has been a lot of buzz about these looms lately. The designer and owner of the company, Dr. Osama Shaaraf, is an engineer and passionate weaver with lots of innovative ideas: his looms have some

Someone posted on the Weavetech Facebook page about a computer dobby loom they had bought from this manufacturer. They were having difficulty getting it to work, and had received poor technical

Hi all, I'm on a search for a dobby loom that fits in my limited available space. In searching for options, I came across a newer loom maker that I have not heard of before. I know that dobbies can

Hello, dear weavers! Is it possible to do a skeleton tie-up on a countermarch loom? I have 4 shafts and 6 treadles, but need more for the pattern I'm trying to do. On a jack loom, I would use a

The loop technique is used by sailors to secure a lashing; usually lashing a small cord around a larger line to keep the end from fraying. Sandra

I started as an inkle weaver and its literally the first thing I ever learned. So I think it falls into the category of one of those things that you assume everyone knows. So alas I can't help with

Thanks for this link! Have never heard of this loop start before. Does it come out of any traditional method, or is there any credited with teaching it’s use? Many thanks Patrice

Does anyone know of a video demonstration of this technique? Thanks.

A heart felt thanks to all of you who responded to my bookmark question I got it!! I can see where my mix up was and now will zip right along - Thank you all so much, Warm regards, Chrystal

This is a common method when weaving on an inkle or tablet loom. This also works even if weaving on a full width loom. Insert a thin strong thread as a kind of waste yarn in the last pick with a few
