more loom maintenance

I'm just starting to get a little tired of sanding rust.

Those are two of the eight lamms, all off my loom right now. I've got four done with the rust sanding for now, four to go. It's definitely annoying, but it feels good to give Lily a little tlc at the same time.

I also spent this morning helping a friend put a giant countermarch loom together. We measured the weaving width to be 80 inches, which is pretty damn exciting. The whole double lamm system had me confused for a bit because I'm so used to jack looms, but I got the tie up figured out soon enough. Loom loom looms, all day long. Not a bad day, if I say so myself.
