I came home with a Dorset loom yesterday!! While spending a week in our previous hometown (now 5 hours of driving time away), I visited a longtime fiber-friend. Near the end of out time together, she invited me to see a loom she had and that she needed to find a new home for to make room in a shared workspace. She showed me the loom, knowing I had some interest in learning to weave. So, I am borrowing this little beauty. I read Learning to Weave a few years ago, which this same friend sent to me, and I was pleasantly surprised how much I remembered. The mechanics of it all just makes sense.

And doubly-fortunately, it is already warped with others' learning on it (it was used as a demonstration loom for years) so I can play and not put this off until I research, plan, purchase and generally overthink the whole thing! Which I love to do as well but that tends to make new hobbies take a loooong time to root. So, after arriving home last night with the loom, I did a google search before bed and found you all. Tips, techniques, resources, etc., will be things I am after and will likely google first and ask once I need some final advice instead of blasting you fire-hose-style with broad questions!

I do know that I will need to borrow a warping board and a sleying tool, at minimum, to start from scratch once I finish playing on the existing warp. I have a 'local' (over an hour away) weaving guild I am a member of and they are generous and knowledgable. Fortunate, I am! I look forward to learning to weave and reading and learning online here.

So I'll repeat my question here - sorry for the repetition. I have a question about my new - to me - Dorset loom, which I love! It is so cute. There is a stick attached to the back beam by two removable screws and springy things - what is it?? I originally thought that this might be the missing apron rod but it's too wide for that.
Anybody have any thoughts about what it is? - Jennifer • or to post comments. I love Dorset looms for many reasons. They were originally made in Dorset Vermont (hence the name Dorset) in a basement of a house owned by Cliff and Mary Woods. They made frequent trips to see Berta Frey to show her how the design was developing. Changes were made and it became the Dorset as we now know it. The Woods felt cramped in their basement and moved to over the border into NY and had a home there with a workshop where they made the Dorsets.
After many years they retired and sold the business, however it was abandoned after several years. The looms are still coveted today, especially in New England area. • or to post comments.
There has been some confusion on my part as to whether or not my email was sent. So, just in case it was not, here goes again: About 10 years ago I purchased my Dorset ($400), unaware that it had an odd quirk. On 1/27/13, Maribeth wrote that her Dorset's treadles line up, left to right, 4,3,2,1.
So did mine with the exception that 3 and 2 were also switched. So, mine lined up left to right, 4,2,3,1. My husband untied the cords from the treadles, removed the section of wood with the pulleys that the cords go through and turned it 90 degrees which,from left to right, lined up treadle 1 with heddle 1 and treadle 4 with heddle 4. That left treadle 2 lined up with heddle 3 and treadle 3 lined up with heddle 2. I asked several experienced weavers in my guild about the problem and just got blank looks and head shaking. No one had ever had experience with this predicament. So, I tried switching the threadings for heddles 2 and 3 and it works! The loom can be used as if it is a 1,1/2,2/3,3/4,4 tie up.
The only problem is that my Dorset continues to baffle weavers at workshops if they notice that the 2 & 3 treadles are lifting 3 & 2 heddles.If Maribeth's loom is constructed the same as mine, and she can turn that section of wood 90 degrees, by untying the cords, she should have a 'normal' Dorset. Stamped on the top beam of my loom is 'By F.C. WOOD'. Does anyone have any suggestions about finding information about him and his manufacturing process? I would dearly like to know why the loom was constructed in this manner or if he was just having a bad day.
