I may try twill tape straps like is on the Ruthie loom. I love particular loom histories!<br />TTommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-65320209996367081782009-12-28T13:13:24.508-05:002009-12-28T13:13:24.508-05:00That particular Shannock is a lovely loom to work ...That particular Shannock is a lovely loom to work on. I ahvee worked on the Metal Shanncok that is slightly larger and it's a great loom to speed weave on! You might want to consider putting an apron on it so you don't have to deal with the turn and a half around the beams to save the cleats. This is <br />something that isn't in any of the literature on warping Shannocks. I hated wasting warp and starting in what I considered to be the middle of the warp instead of right above the bouts. I am working on a 7.5 foot Shanncok loom made of wood. It is the 12th looom produced by Shannock so many years ago. It's interesting how each of the looms has a history. Mine was originally owned by Sharon Marcus. It has the chew marks of her puppies on the legs. Chene' tried but his mouth was to small.<br />katheAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09602511849713822619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-61278530792868547012009-12-25T21:32:40.884-05:002009-12-25T21:32:40.884-05:00I've heard so many good thing about Shannock l...I've heard so many good thing about Shannock looms, and what a nice size. I've only seen some really large ones for sale. <br />The braille dating for the 2009 diary looks great!<br />Can't wait to see the lay out for the both kudzu and 2010's tapestry. :-)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-21898155565319595972009-12-24T22:35:36.952-05:002009-12-24T22:35:36.952-05:00Merry Christmas, Jan... yes, I'll put a contin...Merry Christmas, Jan... yes, I'll put a continuous warp on the frame loom and that should give me about 40" weaving length--next year I'll possibly do each day's section the same size so can predict what I will need for length better than this time around.Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-5020544810815936682009-12-24T21:09:53.720-05:002009-12-24T21:09:53.720-05:00OOH, what a lovely gift!

I hope to do one too, but first I have to finish the small tapestry on the loom. If you use a frame loom, will the warp be long enough for a whole year?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.com
