During the winter I purchased a new loom - an AVL Compu-Dobby 24 shaft workshop loom. (Workshop meaning it is not as wide as their other looms and they claim it can be taken apart and taken to workshops). It has had its' share of problems. A part was broken in transit, they had installed a gear backwards, and most troubling. I could not weave for more than a half an hour without a shaft sticking up. I was continually unweaving problems like the long "floats below".
But I have FINALLY gotten the problems worked out and below is the first finished piece taken off the loom. It is a table runner with painted warp that I dyed.
It has one short lift problem that I didn't catch and a threading problem that I was too lazy to take out (not used to threading 24 shafts versus my old 8) but at least the loom is now working.
