Well the big tapestry loom is now inside, thanks to the help of David and my Aunt, and of course my mom for letting me stash it at her place.
Its quite dirty… we tried to clean it but I think it’s going to need another pass to be usable. I’m also not sure what to do with the fabric and cord bits… take them off and try to wash them? Replace them? Not sure.
There’s also some pieces broken or missing from the um… thing you wind the warp on, so I might need to order one or two piece for that.
Luckily LeClerc has a website with all the different loom manuals, and they still sell replacement parts.
Looking at the loom for the first time in a while I see it’s a totally different mechanism than the little Dorothy, so it’s going to be a totally different skill set to work on.
At this point I’m thinking it’ll be a while before the whole thing is up and running… maybe spring? I’m really eager to get going but there’s a lot of work ahead of me!
Here are some photos, in the meantime 🥰🧶💖
