    Ya, you're right Red_Raven_Studios. I think I will build in to the loom ways to expand the loom without too much trouble. Enterchangeable parts that are also off the shelf parts from... the home inproovement store. At least I have a drill press now and other tools to build these things.
    I am quietly wondering if some of the older Navajo blanket paternss could be adapted to a twill weave and shhhh, a belted plaid. I'm like way into blanket wearing in the winter.
    Good luck with your project and your weaving.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Very cool!

    If you're ever down in the Valley & want to see the Arizona tartan "in-the-wool" for comparison, I've got a kilt in the Arizona tartan made by Mr. Newsome. I think it's a great looking tartan & very well suited to the colors of the Grand Canyon state.

    I hope to see what you two weave, sometime. All the best!
