Loom / Loon

I am a little worried about Ian. I’ve been trying to discuss with him the fact that what we really need is a Loom. He kept replying that we already had one loon and that was enough. It must be the heat or something making him hallucinate. We’ve patently not got a north American aquatic bird living here. When I point this out he says that he was thinking of another loon. Strange.

Anyhow, confusion aside, we are now the proud owners of a 4 heddle table loom. No,I don’t know what that means either. We bought it on Ebay and it is coming from Holland. Hoorah.

It was quite a bargain, and the people we bought it from specialise in spinning and weaving equipment and overhaul everything they sell so it ought to work assuming I can work out how to beat the weft whilst raddling, and other such strange things.

The pic is what it should look like,of course we have to assemble it so it might look slightly different when we’ve finished with it!
