Anyone weave here?

FunnyKnits

I'm thinking of buying a loom to weave scarves with fingering and lace weight yarns.   Does anyone here have any experience  with this?   I'm still trying to figure out what kind of loom?

I started by making a frame loom from an old stretcher frame.  I looked up on you tube how to do it.  I want to practice on this inexpensive loom with my scrap yarn and then move up to a rigid heddle.  I talked to Christine at GIST: Yarn and Fiber who was very helpful in giving me tips on how to chose my first loom.  They are in the USA.  I was also looking for a weavers forum to talk to other beginners to share experiences.

I was able to buy a secondhand loom for 25 Euro.
But I still have to learn a lot.

I haven't had my looms out in 30 years but hope to one day soon.  The warp yarn is now so expensive but it is a very satisfying hobby.

I am talking my husband into helping me build a loom. We'll be working on it this weekend and I hope to be able to start playing with weaving in the next week or two!

Huzzah!!

Got my loom together yesterday and started on it. Still have a lot to learn as well, but I'm having a load of fun with it!

I also have an old loom, and yesterday I finally started to try. It's so much fun to do.
