I had a lovely time yesterday playing with my new Zoom loom, https://www.weftblown.com/products/schacht-zoom-loom it was a present to me with some birthday money.

It is quite the opposite to @Ploshkin new loom  (which by the way I saw at the Southern wool show on Sunday really tempting but I have no space). 

The first square I did has a mistake in it but I am not undoing it, my aim is to make a patchwork throw, I saw one someone had made and it was gorgeous, I will see how I go but the first thing might just be a cushion.

Has anyone else ever tried a pin loom.

You see some really good stuff made from pin loom squares @Celia .  I did think about one for sampling but it the sett isn't very variable so I didn't.
Was it Wonky Weaver at the show?  I'm not sure anyone else supplies Harrisville.
Life's too short for ironing.

Yes it was Wonky Weaver, the loom they had there was the 8 shaft but smaller in width than yours, it is really nice and very neat.  It was funny because I did say I knew someone who had recently bought one then they asked your name  ::thinks::  Ok I didn’t think @Ploshkin  was a good idea  :laughing:

If they were nearer I am sure I might have one on my want list.
