Weaving Dishtowels on my Old Leclerc Counterbalance Loom for the 1st time

It's been a while since that I have made a video about my counterbalance loom. Today, I'm happy to share with you the weaving of my first dishtowels on it. The goal of this project is mostly to figure out what works and what doesn't work with this Leclerc loom. Spoiler alert: it still needs a bit of TLC! #weaving #loom #warp
