Hi Weavers!
This week's newsletter is somewhat brief after another busy week away from home, helping to care for my elderly mother in law.
Hopefully I will be able to get back to my lonely looms soon!
I did set aside some time to write a new article though, so I hope you enjoy that.
When you purchase a brand new weaving loom, you may anticipate that it will arrive “finished” or treated with some sort of lacquer.
This is not always the case and it’s worth checking before purchase, just so you are fully informed.
Last week we talked about general loom care, but today I wanted to get more specific and have a look at the pros and cons of finished and unfinished looms.

NEW ON YOUTUBE
This week on Youtube I have a mini review of the Jane 16 shaft table loom. I say "mini" review but in my classic tendency to over deliver, it actually ended up pretty long!
Anyway, if you're interested in my thoughts on this loom so far, head over and watch the video:

AMAZING RESOURCE
I was reminded during the week of an amazing archive for weaving that is readily available online - I've used it many times over the years in my weaving research.
Robyn Spady mentioned it on her Heddlecraft (another great weaving resource!)
The University of Arizona hosts these wonderful weaving archives that were put together over the years and are now in the public domain:
