Yesterday when I got to the textile center there were 4 visitors kinda crowded around my loom looking at it and like leaning over and examining how it worked, so when I came up and was like "hello!" and took a seat they were like "oh!! Is this your loom? Can we ask you questions about it??"
So of course I was like "yeah sure!" and the one lady goes "where does the color come from??? How does it get between the white threads?" At which point I was like OHHH their baseline knowledge is like. Zero. So I got to show them how the bobbin goes in the shuttle, and how the treadles raise the different shafts to let you pass the shuttle through, and how the pattern depends on the way the loom is threaded and the order you raise the shafts, etc etc etc and they were SO engrossed. I loooove when people ask me questions about how it works cus it's so fun watching them be like :0!!!!
