Vintage Brio Craft Loom

While hunting for the tiny blue loom in my last post I came across this little Swedish beauty. It ended up being sent to me for a whole $10! I wanted to show her in her full beauty before I went to weaving on her. I need to replace some things, but luckily with my spindle business I have everything I need here. I'm not quite sure of how old she is, but I believe 1950's because of the manual and because the ones from the 60's have plastic parts, this one is 100% wood. Oh and something cool, it folds completely flat yay!





The poor box, someone cut the top of and taped on another. The original box looks pretty 50's to me, don't you think?

1964 Wonder Weave Loom

I decided that since I already crochet, spin, knit, and knook (more on that later!) that I needed to add weaving to my list of fiber crafts. So I of course hoped on ebay and saw this tiny little loom for $5, brand new practically with all the project books (which scream 60s!), and even the instructions in perfect condition. I had never seen or heard of this loom, so I searched the internet for more info. I ended up finding this YouTube of it in action...



I was then hooked! I wanted it so I ended up winning the bid where everyone else left off at $5, yay! I got it in the mail today and played with it immediately. It is so much fun I think any fiber lover should have one
