When I bought the Macomber loom, I put a blue warp on it and then used some fuzzy stuff as weft. I did a pattern, but it didn't really show up very well as the fuzzy yarn was a variegated color.
After fits and starts, I finally wove that sucker off.
I made some threading errors so I need to take a sewing needle and thread up two warp threads up the back since somehow they didn't catch at all.
After trimming and binding the edges, I will wash it and see what happens to the fabric.
I did find that the mechanics of this loom didn't really work well with my body. I had to switch around heights and positions of chairs and I think this loom will be moving to someone else's house.
I already have my next project in the queue and need to decide if I want to open up the big loom or take out the small loom from the closet.
