When the fiber faeries decide I need to learn to weave and ensure that a FREE loom comes my way, who am I to say no? Since I haven’t gotten around to charging the camera battery yet, I can’t show you pictures of it. (And yeah, I know, I need to post some pictures of a LOT of stuff… baby steps, k?) But, I can tell you that it’s a Rasmussen, it was made here in Seattle, it’s a table loom, and it will do widths up to 25″ (from what I’ve been able to gather thus far from the meager bits I can find about them online). It looks to be in surprisingly good condition. There’s one like it
that was listed on ebay a while back, and can probably still be seen for a while here. Guess I need to buy some more books, eh?

On a totally unrelated note, I actually spent some time in front of the wheel this afternoon, and managed to spin up the entire bump of green roving that Angela gave me while I was up in Vancouver. And? Guess what. It’s not lace weight. Woo! It is, however, quite pretty all spun up, although I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. No clue how much of it there is, but I’ll measure it out once it’s all dry. Heck, maybe by then the camera battery will be charged up.

Oh come ON! It could happen.
