First, look at the picture with this blog. Now, take another look at that picture. Ok, one more look! Well let’s just say it’s not as easy as driving a car according to a lady that I talked too.
I will begin by saying I have watched my Amish friends operating a loom for quite a while & they make it look so easy. Not only are they operating it, they must also be aware of the material that they are using. First, they either purchase the material or cut the material themselves. My Amish friends normally purchase the material for the Shaggy Rugs. They cut and tie the material for their Flat and Denim Rugs. Please note they roll the material into a ball which the person controls along with which colors will be used into the rug. This takes years of practice to get the right amount of color throughout the entire rug. Thus, each rug is very unique & very hard to duplicate. The Amish take a lot of pride in making these products so please refrain from calling Flat Rugs = Rag Rugs. The Amish really do not like it. Our next Part 3, I will try to describe how the machine works. Wish me luck. https://www.missouriamish.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html #AllAboutAmish by #MissouriAmish  We thank Kelly D. for emailing us this question.
Let’s imagine that you are living in the 1800’s. Your family has just moved to Missouri from the eastern part of the United States. What are some of the things that your family would bring? Livestock, food, clothing, and many other things because back in the day you would create many of the things that your family would need as there was no Internet, Box Store or 3D printer, so many people brought a loom to make clothing & rugs. What is a loom and how does it work? A loom is a weaving machine & when used properly knits threads together to make a single piece of material or cloth. Looms date back to ancient times & enabled the users to be able to make cloth quicker with more uniformity. There are many different types of looms.
