I started with a 36" Nilus and have just gotten a 60", plus a warping mill, the bench, fly shuttle and the fibers. Then some more fibers.....<BR/><BR/>While Saori allows creativity, it is still only as creative as your mind and hands make it. The same is true with any needles or loom. I rarely uses the looms to make standard weaves. It is simply a tool for your imagination to share with others.<BR/><BR/>I would suggest that you don't let your loom own you. Find a used loom through a guild or Craigslist. Buy below your means. Know that you can always sell it. You can always buy another. Try to find a mentor in the community to help you understand how to work your loom. Hopefully these suggestions will allow your creativity to soar free and wide.<BR/><BR/>Weaving is an amazing art, meditation and master.

I am a Saori weaver, who used to be a traditional weaver and then fell in love with Saori.<BR/><BR/>You are right, you don't need to have a Saori loom to weave in a Saori way, but I must say the looms are wonderful. When I was looking for a small, portable loom, I bought a Wolf Pup - which I really liked. About a month later I found out about Saori weaving and now have Saori looms. Just in the past couple of months I have started distributing them - so I am biased....but I do love them and had purchased one 2 years ago. <BR/><BR/>They are very portable and accessible and I take one to all kinds of events for Peace Weaving.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that you will love weaving from what you have said, no matter which loom you buy. Good luck with your decision.<BR/><BR/>Happy Weaving,<BR/>Terri<BR/>www.saltspringweaving.comsaoriweaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167603994358850322noreply@blogger.com
