I have to give away a sofa and if I'm lucky it will just fit the same footprint. Am I interested in weaving? Always was, like so many other things. My life is tooooooooooo short for all my interests.

I, too, have wanted to weave since the early 1970's, I took a class last fall on the shop's jack loom, & found a counter-balance loom near me for $500. It now sits in my sewing room because I can't find out how to string up the treadling. The loom is a Llistina and no one "out there" seems to know anything about them.
If anyone knows anything I would be so grateful for any information.
I think ceative people have curiosity about all things once that "window" has been opened. Lucky us!
