Wire coat hanger? That's what I learned on.

Oh......even the thought of that makes me twitch ;) Guess I won't be out of the shop for a few days after all.....I've been called out on Live Journal!

Well, yea. Wire hangers are a good cheap almost instant way of making a sample loom. However, for more than that, something elegant in wood is called for.

Can you come up with something spiffy by Birka?

...I don't even know if there are any wire coat hangers in our house. We systematically replaced them with wood a few years ago. But maybe I got one from the dry cleaners a while back. Hmmmmmmm....

Empty picture frame? If you don't have an empty one around, perhaps one can be emptied temporarily?

Good thought, unfortunately all my picture frames are pretty small (5 x 7-ish). I might have an embroidery frame, though.... Hmmmmm....
