She says though that it is a firm bind-off but you can knit until you run out of yarn.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473532557091500965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24002250.post-1152118237350153122006-07-05T11:50:00.000-05:002006-07-05T11:50:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comments about the tea towels. I ...Thanks for your comments about the tea towels. I did the finishing on them today. I started weaving to use up handspun since I thought my handspun might be more suited to weaving instead of knitting, but most of my weaving has been with cotton!<BR/><BR/>My loom is a 20" Schacht Rigid Heddle with a 12 dent reed. It clamps onto a table so it is portable. I have mine set up permanetly so I can weave in small increments here and there.<BR/><BR/>I bought it from a Briar Rose Fibers in Canby, MN which is about 40 minutes away from my home. I chose this becuase of the size and thought it would allow me to become familiar with weaving. I like it and am finding that it is fairly versatile eventhough it only is considered a two shaft loom. A good website to look at different brands and sizes is Paradisefibers.net. Prices are pretty comparable. The gal in Canby also sells Louet products and I know a gal in Groton, SD that sells the Ashford.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556345565728155134noreply@blogger.com
