houseelfThis afternoon, I finally had time to sit down with the loom and assemble it. Putting it all together was actually pretty simple - it comes nearly finished. All you have to do is attach a few dowel rods using the included ties.
Next up is figuring out how to warp it. (Warping = setting up the yarn that runs vertically, that you weave other yarn in and out of.) There are two ways of warping this sort of loom. The way that doesn't require any extra equipment is, unfortunately, also the method that's going to require me to clean off my coffee table until I reach a flat surface, so I don't think that's going to happen tonight. I also need to track down a few heavy paper bags, which is going to require some brainstorming. Every store I can think of uses plastic.
