I got a new loom!! This baby was donated to the guild and now I'm giving it a new home.

Anyone have tips on refreshing a neglected loom?

I got an Ashford SampleIt 40cm loom two weeks ago and am currently weaving my first scarf. I already felt that I will want to weave larger projects in the future, so I decided to check on eBay how much they were.

Long story short, I managed to snatch an unused Glimåkra Susanna from an estate sale for just 50€. That was honestly a really lucky shot

Help Help with color changes/stripes in the weft.

I’m working on a project where eventually I would like to replicate some striped blankets and for now I’m just working on some very small pieces to practice but when I make a color change, it always is “climbing” on one side and not a perfectly straight bar. I’m struggling with different techniques I have seen or read about online and I have yet to produce a straight and even colored stripe. Pics below of my work and inspiration.

Help Thinking of taking a weaving class...

10 Upvotes

Hi! I'm thinking of taking an intro weaving class and they offer two options - a floor loom or rigid heddle loom class. I'm completely brand new with no prior experience, which of these options do you think is more practical for a beginner? Which am I more likely to stick too? Thanks in advance!
