A smaller, more portable rigid heddle loom I purchased as I move toward a goal of teaching weaving.  I purchased the stand as well.  

A foray into tapestry weaving.  The advantage of this over other small hand looms is you can adjsut the tension of warp to keep it high for weaving tapestry.

I did a lot of research in determining what I wanted in a floor loom as this is a pretty sizeable investment.  A very well  made, feature rich loom.   For the loom nerds:

• Countemarche

• Texsolve headles

• Floating breast beam

• Can expand from 8 to 12 shafts

I really stepped up my game as I moved from small hand loom to this one.  I very quickly began making scarves, towels, lap blankets, etc.  It is best for thicker yarns and shorter warps.  You can have a ball of yarn in your hand and be weaving within an hour for many projects.  

It is a very basic frame but I have made modifications to make it table standing and more stable.  I use this to primarily make rug mugs while sitting at our dining table watching TV.

My first loom, came as a kit (Callie Linen Coasters Kit).  I paid too much but it gave me my first exposure to weaving and started the journey down the Rabbit Hole.
