Congratulations!! I had seriously contemplated that same loom, until a 48 inch Macomber fell into my lap and that was that....LOL.

I have enjoyed catching up on your blog.....you have been busy!!

Congratulations! Fun and adventure await! And, yes you can use handspun for warp. I do it all the time.

Congrats!!! Great gift and I agree 30 is the new 20. I would rather be closer to 40 than to 20 anyday. (lol). Of course I’d like my behind to look like 20 over 30, but the trade offs are worth it.

A spinning wheel and now a FLOOR LOOM! ! !I can’t stand it. I will be watching your Blog for the continuing saga of the new loom. It’s only 4 weeks till it arrives and that day will be joyous. Take lots of pictures and we want to see you sitting at the loom. My first sit & weave at a floor loom was at this years Maryland Sheep & wool festival. I’m hooked so there is one in my future too. Have Fun!

First visit to your blog, and wishing you a hearty congratulations on your loom purchase! Sharing your interest in weaving…took lessons in Feb from great Irish woman…loved the delicate tension between order and potential chaos of the warp threads…borrowing a Dorset loom…bought a Kessenich of my own…waiting to ship it to Ireland…sturdy for rugs but small, foldable…space is limited in Dublin houses…some happy successes…and humbling failures…looking forward to a life of learning the craft. All the best to you!

Congratulations and happy (early) birthday! It is wonderful how you’ve sort of progressed with fiber arts, exploring so many different aspects.

Congratulations! Years ago I had a Louet Hollandia (earlier model than yours and only 4 shafts, but otherwise very similar). I loved it. It does make a great shed, and the texsolv heddles are pretty quiet. But if you live in an upstairs apartment and you beat firmly, you will hear about it from the neighbors downstairs. Ask me how I know this.

Great loom, though.
