I just got back from the first day of spinning demonstrations in Montevideo. It's always fun for me and the kids, and I even got some spinning done between classes. On the way back to Canby, I stopped at Tokheim stoneware and got my first look at Lucy's tapestry loom. (Here's a picture of Lucy and the loom in the back of the barn.) Given that it's been in storage in a barn for the last several years, it looks like it's in pretty good condition. It still has a warp on it, and even a bit of weaving. The reed is rusty and would need a major cleaning or replacement, but other than that, all the parts are there! We're going to try to bring it home without taking it apart to prevent frustration and lost bolts, so will have to borrow an open bed pickup. Maybe this weekend? We'll see!
