My Looms

4-Shaft Floor Loom

4-shaft floor loom, ready for warping, 2023

4-shaft 45” Nilus Leclerc loom generously gifted me by Sarah K. (August 2021), who received it from her mother, who purchased it in 1971 from a store in Anchorage, Alaska and shipped to Fairbanks, Alaska, where they lived ~ and where I live. I enjoy creating larger projects on this loom as well as intricate patterns.

Rigid Heddle Loom

Lucet

Using a lucet to turn yarn into cord, 1 November 2024.

Not actually a loom, this tool (believed to have been used in Medieval Europe and by Vikings) creates a square-shaped cord that is slightly springy. Getting the tension just right is tricky (at least for me), so the cords I make are all imperfect. Perhaps this makes them more interesting…?
