Introductions

Hello to the RH gang. Now that we are all gathered together in one group, let's meet each other. I am one of the founders of Weavolution and a very new weaver of only 4 years. My first loom was a Schacht Baby Wolf and then a Navajo loom. I took a 2 year break to practice weaving and take a couple workshops and classes. Then, I bought an 8 harness Tools of the Trade loom which named itself Ethel, no other loom I own has begged for a name but she did. Last Christmas I received a Kromski Harp, about 6 months after investing in 50% ownership of a Kromski Sonata spinning wheel. I love the Harp, it's a delight to use and to warp. Plus, when we travel by car, which seems like fairly often with the youngest child in college, I can take it along. I have done some weaving in the car but mostly I enjoy having it along in the evenings when my partner is too tired to do much after the long drive to eastern North Carolina from DC (7-8 hours) to either drop off or pick up his son from UNC Wilimington. Also, we go to Williamsburg, VA at least once and often twice a year and having the Harp along is fun for the evenings we're not strolling around CW (Colonial Williamsburg). I have made napkins, a scarf, a table runner and now have a shawl that is almost finished with my Harp. I love it and am very impressed with the service from New Voyager Trading. My warp helper broke in January and I wrote to them and received a brand new one free of charge in less than 2 weeks. Also, the DVD that came with the Harp was extremely helpful in getting me. started. Introduce yourself, tell us about you, your weaving, your plans, whatever. I'd love to get a WAL started in the fall, right now I am a bit preoccupied and enjoying every minute of Weavolution. I hope you are too! Claudia, rigid heddlers mom and Weavolution co-founder.
