I know this has been a while since you posted this, but can we have an update? I like the idea of the Julia and am considering one, however the glimakra wratchet and prawl leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's the same system on the Julia as the band loom, and on the band loom, it's terrible and constantly fails. I tweaked it in our shop and it's much better, but for the cost you shouldn't have to tweak it. I want to use the Julia for rugs and the tension on those is HIGH. So what's been your experience?

@KarenIsenhower-o9f Ай бұрын

@@WthrLdy My experience with the Julia has been all positive.The ratchet and pawl have worked beautifully for me. I weave rugs on other looms that are better for holding a high tension. For everything else, the Julia is perfect. Probably not the best loom for rugs, where you want max tension and a heavier beater.

I am thinking of buying this loom. Do you like it and is it easy to thread with shafts swinging about. I have a baby wolf loom and its rather noisy but i am not sure the Julia will be much quieter. The yarn you purchased looks lovely. Where do you purchase your yarn from. Thank you for the video.

@karenisenhower9886 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! The thread I used for these towels is 22/2 Bockens Cottolin (60 cotton/40 linen blend). I like Cottolin for towels because the cotton makes them soft and the linen makes them absorbent.

Hi Karen, thank you so much for the prompt reply. I am currently awaiting the delivery of my new David 3 43" loom. I'm very excited to get it. It's a sinking shed so there will be a learning curve but I felt less so than the Julia. ( At one point in my weaving "history" I had a 60" 12 harness. Way too much loom!) I'm amazed at how hard you can bang that Glimacra beater bar when weaving your rag rugs. It shows the sign of a well-built loom!

I believe it may have been in the old Debbie Reddings' book. If it's the same form, I absolutely loved it. I cannot find it anywhere. If this is the form, would you mind emailing me a copy?
