Hi,
I was wondering if anyone weaves on the antique looms. I now have 2 of them and trying to learn to get them warped so I can start weaving some rag rugs.
I am 53 years old, married and lives in Indiana. I would love to hear from others that weaves.

Do you have the really big ones that take up a whole room? Oh find this old Disney movie to watch: So Dear To My Heart. The grandmother uses a big loom and it has lots of quilts in the movie. They are called qivers and she won't take her qivers to the state fair. I love this movie. I laughed out loud every time I watch it.

I have my grandmother's two harness loom.
It is BIG!---She used it to make rag rugs on it.
We had it set up at one time and it took up half of our bedroom.
I haven't done anything with it since that time. If anyone is interested in buying it, please PM me. I have no idea what it would be worth or even how to ship it.
(I live in CA for anyone who wanted to pick it up rather than have it shipped)
