UPDATE ON LOOM

Hi Everyone! I thought I might give

you an update on my loom mystery!

Well I did finally found out what loom

company made my loom and is Clement

they are no longer making looms. And

there are no spare parts to be found

for my loom if I ever need to relpace

any. But I don't think that is going to be a

problem for me because it is in really sound shape. How I found out all

this information is I was given an email address for a man known as the

loom doctor. His name is Tom Beaudet and repairs looms and has a lot of

information on looms. Well I did email him about my loom and he told me

it was a Clement loom and it was the first one he had ever seen that was counterbalance. that most of the looms he had seen and worked on were

jack he was really surprised to see my loom he could not tell me the age

of the loom but that does not matter any more at least I finally know what

I have as far as make. I was so excited when he was able to tell me what

maker of loom I have! also I have been buying a little at a time the weaving

tool I need to start to learn and I think I am finally able to start to warp

my loom for the first time. I am so excited about that I can't wait! I am

also mostly caught up on the fiber mill work i just have one customer order

I am working on and I am half way done with that. them I can start to

wash and clean the 11 fleeces I got this spring! Yes! I know 11 what in the

world are you going to do with 11 fleeces well you see I have this idea of

using it in my weaving as weft thread for some rugs i want to make I know

it sounds crazy but I think ti would make a nice heavy rug when you was it.

It would felt of course and make it really thick and I hope sturdy rug it is

an idea I have I don;t know if it will work or not but I will find out when I

get my loom warped I will take picture's of it and the weaving project I have in

mind too!
