This is why I always say my projects are multi-fiber. Because there’s gonna be some dang cat hair in there with the wool/cotton/linen etc.

Very adorable cat! Could I ask what width your loom is? I’m researching to buy one for myself and everyone says that the rigid heddle looms are larger than you think lol

It is a 20” Schact flip loom! It really is bigger than it looks.

In my experience the cat is actually an essential component to the weaving process.

Quality control is a must and he looks like he takes his job very seriously. Placemats are excellent.
