hello everyone,
i'm a new weaver, and am really interested in navajo weaving (along with tapestry weaving). I want to create designs...I'm drawn to the native designs, but I'm also interested in doing some designs that stray a bit from the navajo weavings and would be more tapestry style i'm guessing.
does anyone have any suggestions as to a great loom to get. i want to work medium size...(not much bigger than 50" i'm thinking) I don't care for doing small work...and don't like smaller looms...feels limiting to me i guess, i'd rather get bigger than what i intend to work than smaller...if that makes sense.
i have the space to set something up, so space is not an issue.
also what other resources does anyone have to share...i've read a lot about some of the favorite books...is there a "must get to start" book? and what other tools would i need besides a beater..shuttle? bobbins? and of course wonderful yarn.
thank you for any advice!
