I know that there is a lot of people on here that spin but I was wondering if anyone out there weaves? I would love to see some pics of your projects and looms. I have done some small pieces 12"x 24" on a small loom and I am waiting for the other half to help me build the bigger loom that I want.
These are the only two pics. of my projects that I have. The white one was one of my first projects. You can see that the sides are not really straight.

Hi PeeWee -
I weave and spin, and am close to you too - about an hour and a half SW in Arcadia. I haven't woven anything in awhile, but when I do it's rag rugs, baby blankets and scarves/shawls. My loom is a 36" 4 harness floor loom by Harrisville. It's a beauty and I love it! My wheel is an Ashford Traveller but I have an e-spinner too and lots of drop spindles left over from my past life as a wanna-be shopkeeper. I have a variety of handspun yarn that is made with wool and blends, mostly sport weights. I have sold some locally at fairs but here in Fla. there's not a big market. I have been told many times that my handspun rivals commercial yarns for consistency. Do you spin too? If you're interested, I can send you some samples if you'd like to share and compare. I've also been known to make fellow craftsmen excellent deals, I love to see my beautiful yarns get used by people who appreciate handiwork.
Have a great day!
