Working at the Loom

These pictures show me at my AVL loom at my home studio. I weave all the blankets and towels on this loom. If you look towards the right side of this photo, you can see the fly shuttle box on the beater- this device allows me to weave with speed. I hold the wooden handle and flick my wrist to shoot the shuttle with the weft yarn across to the other side of warp.
