Weaving!!

A ran into an old friend and she and her family kindly gifted me her mother’s Union rug loom!

The warp is already on, I just need to tie it.   I am pretty excited to get started.  In return, I need to weave something on it for one of the brothers.  I can’t wait to get started.

I am a total beginner (epic failure even) at weaving but I am determined to figure it out!  Last night I put the warp on the Katie loom and it didn’t go well….

At first everything seemed fine until I tried to raise the heddles.   Then as you can see the shed is a mess ;(

If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it!

  1. WARP GOES OVER THE TOP OF THE BACK BEAM AND THEN DOWN TO TIE ON THE WARP BEAM. SAME IN THE FRONT.

  2. Woot! A Union Loom! They are great workhorses... Good luck with the little loom--I think Cathy's on to something there.
