New Loom

Here is my new toy, a Leclerc Bergere Rigid Heddle Weaving Loom. If I was brave enough I probably would return this one and get an Ashford or Kromski that both have more options that come with it and fewer things to catch yarn on plus you can purchase a stand. My Lecleric doesn’t have the options or the stand plus I’m getting irritated with the yarn catching on everything. Now if I was a more experienced weaver or had a shorter beater? I probably wouldn’t catch on things so much but at the moment I have to work to get the yarn where I want it before I use the beater. Here are some pictures
