This
weekend was SAFF. For those of you who don't know, SAFF is a
fiber festival held every year in western NC.
Well, years ago, while on my way to SAFF, I spied a loom for sale.....at a YARD SALE! It was a beautiful Mighty Wolf by Schacht. A 4 now 4 later (info my weaving buds would understand).
Anyhoo, I scarfed her up in a heartbeat. My sweet hub came and picked her up for me.
I'll tell you....I LOVED that loom. Eventually she lead to my purchasing a Baby Wolf, a Wolf Pup, a huge rug loom, an inkle loom, a table loom and multiple rigid heddle looms (needed for classes I taught at both SAFF and the Johnson Farm in Hendersonville)
Years later......Surprise, surprise .....
I came to the conclusion that my "studio" was becoming just a wee bit overpopulated so I decided to part with my Mighty Wolf. The sale was bittersweet for me because the (my) loom was purchased/picked-up on SAFF weekend (the SAME WEEKEND I adopted her years ago!) :(
I must say, however, that Donna, (the purchaser) seems happy - which makes me a tad bit happiER.
She posted two photos on FB.

Enjoy your new loom, Donna! I hope you love her as much as I do!
