The Loom Owner's Companion Review by Linda Shepard

I highly recommend this video. My sister-in-law and I watched it together, and we both learned little nuggets to use with our looms. Tom is a marvelous teacher (I learned to weave with him.) I expect to refer to this video often as I continue weaving. (I own a 4-shaft Glimakra and an 8-shaft mighty Wolf as well as a tapestry loom.
