Looooom

On hearing that I was interested in textiles, the art teacher went on the hunt for a loom they used to have in the department. It turned up a week later, completely in pieces and I was given the task of assembling (and learning how to use) it. This loom must be going on 50 years old and the only instructions I could find on the net were in Dutch.... but I think I managed to guess my way through it, with some help from the DT teacher making the parts that were missing.

The Louet W70 4 treadle loom




My first samples (they're not much to look at but are helping me get to grips with working the loom...)
