This was fascinating to read! Thank you! I’ve been fascinated by looms since seeing the weaving workshop at Berry College when I was an undergrad. I’ve never thought about the provenances of home looms. A weaver has recently joined our local knit group and has introduced me to an Inkle loom. And I thought knitting and spinning were rabbit holes!

I wanted to go to Berea College, because I was determined to learn how to spin and weave. I wound up in Kentucky, where I took weaving classes. I didn't learn spinning until I came back home to Dallas and volunteered at a living history museum. The Textile Arts are one big rabbit hole!
