We are working on the same type of looms that were brought to this country by the Spanish settlers in the mid 16th century. They are called walking looms because the weaver stands and walks the two treadles to open sheds - and also because the loom has a tendency to walk, or move across the floor. <- Sue H. at her loom. |
