@faziarizvi @consumableJoy@artisan.chat I also started with a Kromski Harp. While I got a free floor loom from Craigslist a few months later, I still do use it from time to time to do a quick project when my floor loom is tied up (pun intended). I really appreciate how *silent* it is to use it compared to my floor loom.
I've made everything from scarves to plaid table runners to 2'x4' Krokbragd rugs on it.
@faziarizvi @consumableJoy@artisan.chat I will also say that an advantage to starting and learning on a rigid heddle loom is how much easier and faster it is to warp it and get right to weaving. The much simpler warping process is less likely to discourage you from starting a project compared to the more involved one with a floor loom, and makes up for the extra time weaving itself might take on one.
While I do enjoy dressing the floor loom now, it took many hours and many warps to get there.
