The FedEx delivery person was kind enough to leave my new loom safe in a plastic bag because it was raining yesterday. I was happy because the loom stayed dry. I was even more happy to realize the loom was already put together. For some reason, I thought I had to assemble it.<\/p>\n
The pictures aren't the greatest but they show the box, the loom in the box, the loom outside of the box, and then the fairly awful warping process. (Awful because I chose a linty cotton… I know, I know…) But I did warp about 6' of the cotton and even started to weave a little bit. It took me about 1.5 hours, from opening the box to warping to starting to weave.<\/p>\n
I know one thing. I LOVE my new loom. It's sturdy and strong. The metal ratchets and pawls are awesome. There is, however, a little mystery with this loom. I'll share that tomorrow, after I do some detective work.<\/p>\n
