Hi Everyone

I was recently given an old handmade counterbalance loom that I hope to get up and running to make rag rugs. So far I have made all new string heddles and have her rust free. I had to replace some pegs but other than that I think all the pieces are there.

Sara from Woolgatherers has helped me figure out how to warp the loom, now I just have to find the courage to attempt it.

Here is a picture and more can be seen on my Flickr page

That is so sweet!  Isn't it from plans in the Worst book?   Good for you to get it going again.

 Yes it was made from plans in the Worst book, I had no idea when I got it but a few people pointed me to the book online and it is identical.

We ( Bessie the Loom) and I finished out first project together.
