When I opened the box, I was pleased to see how secure everything had been sealed up. The wood is just lovely, and the whole loom is sturdy and something I&#8217;ll use forever. Gary McFarland, the loom maker, had also included some basic weaving instructions and a guide to assemble the different loom sizes. The pieces attach together with a bolt with a tiny gear on the top. You set the bolt into a notch and it pulls together two pieces, and then you use a hex wrench to tighten them together. Clever!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"dewberryridgeloom2\" href=\"http:\/\/farm9.static.flickr.com\/8335\/8119354958_01b6f9464e.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8335\/8119354958_01b6f9464e_b.jpg\" alt=\"dewberryridgeloom2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My husband dared me to have the loom unwarpped and assembled in 15 minutes (he set a timer), and I didn&#8217;t even have to rush. I not only had all the individual pieces lined up on the table and \u00a0the loom assembled into the smallest size (3&#8242;), but I also pulled out my easel, set it up, and had the loom ready for weaving with a few minutes to spare.<\/p>\n<p>But I couldn&#8217;t leave it at 3&#8242; knowing I had all those extra feet available, so I surveyed my yarn stash, checked a yardage chart for how much yarn I&#8217;d need for different sizes, and changed the loom to the 5&#8242; size. I chose some really beautiful homespun wool I found at a thrift store&#8211;1,500 yards worth! I also chose to weave a continuous bias pattern. I&#8217;m planning on felting the tri when I&#8217;m done with it&#8230; I am still undecided what it should be, but I&#8217;m leaning toward a little shawl with some buttons on the front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Better pictures to follow, I promise.
