We use the old, mid 1800's barn loom that is housed in a building there.
This is the loom, and the warp we put on it for this year's project ...
This is a beast of a loom, and would have been used by a family of itinerant weavers. They would move around the countryside, doing whatever weaving jobs they could get. At each farm, they would unload the loom and assemble it in the barn, live there with it until the job was done, take the loom apart again, and move to another farm.
It was a tough life to be sure.
