This looks like a decent website for making your own floor loom with pvc and easy to take apart and move it when needed.

Here is another site for making a drop spindle. http://danielson.lau...rop_spindle.htm
It's pretty cheap to make , works great, and I can spin a lot of yarn onto it if I choose. The part the site calls a "blind well nut" was not called that at the hardware store.
I cannot remember the name of it tho.

Hi everyone!
I love to knit ans sew. I can crochet, too. My grandparents were weavers and i h ave a kromski rigid heddle loom, as well as a spinning wheel that my grandfather made. I wantto weave and learn how to spin. I am currently knitting my hubby a pair of slippers and a shawl for myself.
