I am Russus d'Cosenza, Barony of Altavia, Kingdom of Caid. My son Niccolo d'Angelo got me involved almost a year ago in the SCA. I am a long time reenactor of other time periods. I have been interested in weaving for some time. I was recently given a LeClerc Jack Loom. My main interest is in the recreation of period fabric. I will be dressing my loom next month after returning from vacation. I am a retired teacher and intend to demonstrate period weaving (once I get "up to speed")......to satisfy that teacher in me. I'm especially interested in the "Spanish" horizontal loom as it transfers to another time period that I reenact. Early 14th Century (Queen Giovanna II, Naples) is my focus.
I am a beginner and trust that I will learn much from this group. Thanks for creating it and allowing me in. Russus
