Several months ago, some wonderful person gave me a 4 harness floor loom. After lots of reading, I jumped in with both feet:


That warp is cotton, natural and hand dyed, in the process of being made into tea towels. Even the kid loves it:



I think he loves it a little *too* much. He's 4, and described to me in great detail the treadle pattern and color bobbins he was using. When I suggested that perhaps he could have my inkle loom all to himself for a project, he immediately asked me when he would be able to use "the big one" again.

The first towel off:


I put enough warp on the loom to do four towels. let me tell you, I was super tired of the pattern by the end of the fourth. I still have to finish the other three. Now to warp up some scarves.
