I have an old Bergman countermarch loom with 8 shafts that I am still learning on and a new 27.5" 8-shaft Louet Jane table loom. I recently was in Canada and saw some demonstrations of rag rug weaving on antique 2-shaft loom. Some of the rugs were gorgeous and I would like to do a few of them. The Bergman would work but has a double tie-up that takes forever. I really liked doing some towels on the Jane. I think that because it has a hanging beater, I might be able to do a small rag rug without destroying the loom. Has anyone tried this?
