| Nilus LeClerc F series |
One of the benefits, among many, of connecting with the
Carmel Craft Guild is access to resources. There is so much information and
knowledge shared. Members encourage each other, hold each other accountable,
and generally network for Fiber.
Recently, I agreed to store a floor loom for
the Guild. It was built by the Canadian company LeClerc Looms around the same
time as the house we live in. It seemed to settle in and say, “I’m home!”
I decided to refurbish the parts enough to use the loom for the
Beginning Weaving class. Success!

It’s just about impossible to get a good
picture of the sample I wove, but here’s a detail of the twill
sample.
The idea was to weave plain weave with balanced, weft, and warp faced
sections; then weave 2/2 twill with balanced, weft, and warp faced sections. I
learned a lot, I still need to get a few more parts replaced, and I need to
improve my techniques gobs.
The musicians among you probably already have seen where the
2/2 twill sections will lead. Can I weave 4/4 and then add some tatting to
represent the melodies/harmonies and other details?
