Michigan Road Trip

Bill and I went up to Michigan yesterday to pick up the new to me Bexell Cranbrook Loom. It had belonged to a weaver's estate and they were including all of her yarn, books, etc.
The cargo van we rented was almost filled to the ceiling.

There is a lot of wool rug yarn that is in great shape and I'm looking forward to weaving rugs and saddle blankets again. There is a lot to go through and the loom and reeds need to be cleaned, but I am so happy to have found her! I had been looking for a 48" loom because we don't have a lot of space and this one is 60", but I'm sure I'll be happy to have the extra weaving width. Now I'm off to Walmart and the local home stores to find some shelving units to put the yarn on!
