Comments on: How I Warp My Loom http://creatingahome.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/how-i-warp-my-loom/ The story of one guy, his husband, two kids, and one dog and how they go about creating a home.

I visited your site and really enjoyed it. I also like what your previous visitor said about using the loom as the warping frame. I would like to ask permission to use some of your photos as I am putting together a flipchart on Navajo weaving for my students. I would also like to ask permission to post it on Promethean planet (a site for teachers to download flipcharts to use in their classrooms for free) so that all teachers may use this flipchart on navajo weaving. Thank you for the clear instructions and the photos. They will be most helpful for me to start weaving a navajo style tapestry and teach the students as well.

One problem - I'm not able to find the Navajo loom plans using your links. It appears they no longer link to the plans. Could you please e-mail them to me at qu1062@yahoo.com? I need to learn how to attach the tension rod and warp rods. Instead of using sawhorseswhile wrapping the warp, the Navajos use the loom frame itself. Take the feet off your loom and lay the square frame flat on the floor. If you drill holes on the edges of the long sides and insert long nails that stick up, you can lay the warp rods across the loom and anchor them behind the nails. Then wrap your warp thread.
