Eleanor Bittle is the United States' leading expert on Colonial-era tape weaving. In this series of three videos, she discusses her collection, demonstrates how to weave tape and shows how to make a simple box loom for students.
Eleanor - thank you - we have a box loom at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic in Lunenburg NS... The information you have given me is a treasure - Oh, my dear husband made me my own box loom...
I met Eleanor at the Peter Wentz House a couple of weeks ago. She is a such a delight. She offers a "box loom" kit that we will be using as an educational topic for the Children of the American Revolution here in Washington State. Thank you Eleanor for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
