No nearer to being able to shift the big loom , so have decided to make one for now .
So i need to know if the loom i am thinking of making will actually be practical for what i want to do ?
I want to weave my own linen/wool into a few different weights .
The lightest being for shirt type material (linen).
The next weight for trousers/jeans (linen and hemp) .
Then waxed cotton coat weight .
And finally for wool harris tweed type weight material .
The plan of the the loom is on :
www.craftdesigns.co.uk/weaving.htmlplan number 1105 , 42" floor loom .
It is a 6 pedal , 4 shaft with wire/string heddles .
Also , would the warping mill , plan number 1103 , be the one to get also .
I don't know if the above can even be answered just going on a drawing of the loom , but a general , "it should do it" or "forget it !" will do really . Cheers Russ
