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. So, after arriving home last night with the loom, I did a google search before bed and found you all. 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. The mechanics of it all just makes sense. 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. She showed me the loom, knowing I had some interest in learning to weave. 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. Greetings! 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.
