Today, I’ve got for you the 3 signs it’s time to tweak how you dress a loom. Ah, dressing a loom. The prerequisite to weaving. It can be fun, rewarding, and let’s face it, occasionally frustrating. Usually if the process gets tedious, we grab our favorite beverage, put on some music or a favorite show, and keep on keeping on.
But, there ARE signs that your method of dressing a loom may not be working for you. In this episode of A Handwoven Experience, I share 3 signs that it may be time to tweak how you dress a loom.
