Live tension for ashford Katie table loom
#tableloom
I like small recyclable water bottles. Easy to adjust weight by adding/subtracting water. I tie a tight cord around the neck and use a closable metal hook or S hook to hang it. Pat Bullen

Loom Manufacturer Identification
I knew it looked familiar. I have one from around 1935. Lots of similarities between it and the Belmont and the Baby Wolf except the finger-like lams.

Wool or Hair?
From what I could gather, it is only illegal to sell or barter dog or cat hair or items made from dog or cat hair. It is under their cruelty to animals statute. Seems bizarre but when we spun and wove

42" warp separator
I have a roll of 36" very heavy paper we purchased at Home Depot mounted on the back of my 36" Belmont Loom. When I tuck it in the warp, it winds on nice and straight. As I advance the warp I wind it

My experience dyeing cotton roving depends on the thickness of the roving. Manipulating it through all the rinsing is a challenge. I use mesh sweater bags and baste/sew the bag like a donut - smaller

Everything is all set up, and I'm getting a "range check error" when I try to start weaving -- even on files that worked 2 months ago. Any ideas? Thanks, Pat
