Working for the Little Loom tapestry workshop. Ordered an 8 dent regular size Hokett Loom. Jim Hokett makes these looms in wonderful dramatic woods but I wanted one that wouldn’t distract from the weaving I was working on and he sent me this wonderful birds eye maple loom. I LOVE IT!

Color setup
First tapestry attempt with my new little loom.

This first project is of a path among cranberry bogs in NJ. I made a simple sketch and redrew it on the warp. I used yarns from my existing stash and tried to match the weights by combining some and using others as singles. Once off the loom and finished the weaving will be about 2.5“ x 3“. There are some issues with it but for a first attempt I’m pleased.
