If I needed a loom for production, as you do, then the second loom would be perfectly reasonable. Loom envy, spinning wheel envy, sewing machine envy, these are all the demons that people working in these areas have to deal with!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-56148058765723534942008-06-23T09:03:00.000+12:002008-06-23T09:03:00.000+12:00Peg, truth to tell, I wanted to do nothing but mul...Peg, truth to tell, I wanted to do nothing but multishafts a while back, and Bonnie Inouye told us about a friend who weaves very complicated structures on a table loom. So, not having owned a table loom, I bought a Louet Klik with 16 shafts and legs, but this one is a little hard to operate beyond, say... 10, that the most I've used has been 8 in a two-faced twill with 9 and 10 for the selvedge. <BR/><BR/>I do dream of having another computer-operated multishaft, the more the merrier, so then I don't have to compromise on the structure, (I can't weave quickly enough when orders come in to finish off something and throw on another warp, and now I always have cashmere on my 4) but I do enjoy the more primordial (if you can call it that) weaving on the 4, because so very little (next to nothing) I do in weaving is spontaneous. <BR/><BR/>So the two make up for my left-brain-right-brain weaving. <BR/><BR/>I wished you lived around here, Peg; at least 4-shafts are dime a dozen, and in some cases, people will just give it to you for the asking because nobody has touched the loom for decades, and it's taking up room!!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-74324759841098092382008-06-23T06:30:00.000+12:002008-06-23T06:30:00.000+12:00Oh Meg, this is the best reason (excuse?!?)

What a wonderful luxury (at least it would be a luxury for me, both in terms of cost and use of available space) that must be!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.com
