Loom boards.
The blanket board was made by my grandfather
more than 60 yrs ago. He made several blankets
on it while he was very sick and in the hospital.
The scarf board was made by my uncle. I don't know
how old it is, but I do know it's been around
as long as I have!
The same uncle made me my very own loom board
that is 2 ft. long a few years ago. He also made
me a circle one for hats.
