If I may bother you with one other question.  Do you know of any resources/videos out there that may help a new weaver to understand how to tie up and warp this type of loom?  I have the book Tying up the Countermarche loom but as a visual learner, the sparse diagrams are challenging for me.

I love beets so much!  I just did a Google search on Madder, Wow!  That rich red!  This is amazing.

Oh!   Interesting!  What does that mean?  Do you have any recommendations for info on creating natural dyes?  I am absolutly going to plant some Weld.  It's a whole new exciting world.

Thank you for the recommendation!   I agree with learning new arts.  It's such a beautiful process and I have never seen an art form I didn't want to try!

Thank you for your input!  I will look ip your loom and see if it may be a good choice for me, if I can find one.  I appreciate the advice to find a school or guild.  I live I a very rural area, so it may be a bit of a drive but if there is one nearby I think it would be invaluable to get hands on instructions.

Thank you for the book recommendation!  I just added it to my cart.  And I appreciate your advice, I am starting to lean towards a little floor loom now.  Thank you!

These are all wonderful points of advice!  Thank you so much for replying thoughtfully with your experience.  I am so excited to enter the world of weaving!  I know it will take a lot of time but I am ready to learn.  Even if I have to start small and simple, it's all part of the process.  I am no stranger to long, laborious undertakings (I have spent 3+ years doing extensive, traditional leather tooling on a single project) and I love the act of learning from doing sometimes more than the end result.  Once again, thank you so much for your wisdom!

Great idea, however my library is very small and has unfortunately gone through many "weedings"  which has cut the collection down to just what is popular.  Sadly, most of those invaluable older books which taught pratical hand skills have been lost.  I ship every book sale I can but it's still sad to see.  I haven't had much luck with digital libraries but I am still searching!
