I got a 32″ Ashford rigid heddle loom (like a Cricket, only 32″ and made in New Zealand) in January and I love, love, LOVE weaving. I’m more into towels and napkins and table runners, with cotton, linen and bamboo and all kinds of neat fibers.

I’m so hooked that I’m about to get a 50″ floor loom to weave blankets, towels (bath and dish) by the score, and maybe even a rug or two. It’s hard to balance knitting vs. weaving time – I’ve almost ignored knitting completely this year!

You’re lucky that Schacht Spindle is located so close to TLE… I wish there were more weaving resources closer to me in Oklahoma!

I JUST got my 15″ cricket loom and already finished a couple of scarf type swatches. Getting ready to set up for project using some of my fav sock yarns. I love knitting but am very very slow. Weaving yields very fast and beautiful results…I am definitely hooked and can’t wait to try out some different techniques!

That looks like such fun! I would love to come by and take a class on weaving with you guys! Everyone would end up with scarves for Christmas! LOL

Oh dear God no! not another hobby. I can barely justify the hand spinning as it is. But it is so nice to see the results you’ve posted and I’m sure they will inspire others!

I’ll be in the area the last of September/first of October. Would LOVE to take a weaving class. Any chance you will do it again so soon?

NO….no…no….no.no……….no….NO…..no…… etc…..etc. …..etc.

My family would surely divorce me if I started learning another craft.

I am taking a class next Friday and although we don’t get a loom, we can borrow one for a week or two while we finish up our projects. So, I’d love to get feedback on the 15″ Crickets. I will be learning on a Cricket, but am also looking at another brand. There are so many options and varieties that choosing the perfect one is a little overwhelming!

I made and Inkle Loom in while in high school. I made a number of scarfs using worsted yarn. I may still have one of the scarfs around. I think I would like weaving on a bigger loom now.

I love my loom, but I haven’t tried anything like the houndstooth. Just tabby weave. I have something on the loom that I have maybe another foot of weaving left to do. I’m hoping to make it into a skirt once the fabric is washed.
