What's In My Loom Bench?

This week I took a warp off my big loom. I’d started weaving the project in January, and now it’s June, so there was plenty of cleaning up to do! 

I do my best to vacuum around the loom, but when there's a warp on it, that's easier said than done! This time between warps was the perfect time to get under the loom to really clean - and to clean out my loom bench!

While I'm weaving, I do my best to take empty pirns and bobbins back to their home, but they do add up. Plus all those little bits of yarn! 

The best part of this project, though, is finding that Allen wrench. It belongs to a different loom, and I'd been looking for it for months! 

What I keep in my loom bench:

• Clover Tapestry Needle
• T-Pins
• Pinnable cloth measuring tape for measuring fabric on the loom (I made my own with twill tape and a sharpie)
• Measuring tape (this one is less prone to stretching, and I use it for centering the warp on the loom)
• Washi tape for taping drafts to the loom without leaving residue
• S-hooks in different sizes to weight loose threads, selvedges, and repair threads
• An adjustable wrench to tighten bolts on the loom, plus a screwdriver set 
• Scissors
• Loom ties to hold the beater in place while sleying the reed
• Calculator

• Super sliders for moving furniture
• Dyson cordless vacuum (honestly not my favorite vacuum ever but it's the one I have)
