Mary Temple · Minnesota Weaver, February 1976
Article · 1 page
Mary Temple's column from the Minnesota Weaver argues for the rigid heddle frame loom as an affordable, portable teaching loom. She names the brands the Weavers' Guild of Minnesota frame loom teachers suggest (Beka, Kircher, Kay-an-Ee) and criticizes poorly made looms sold as gifts for children. She then gives a personal review of the new Erica Loom from the Northfield Loom Company, in 20-inch and 25-inch widths. The page also carries a separate Shows & Exhibits column by Suzy Sewell.
