There is no such thing as a triangle table loom.  If the loom is  triangle 
and it fits on a table then you can weave.  The 12 inche looms or  24 inche 
looms that are triangles can fit on a table.  The 12 or 24 inche  loom you 
then can move around while sitting.  When you get larger you have  to move 
around the loom and that is why you use a stand or a couple of hooks to  hold 
it on a wall.

My instructor has never taught a blind person before so her  challenge may 
be
greater than mine.  She is going to work with me one  on one rather than 
with
a class.

Thanks for the encouraging  words.  Did you give up weaving because you lost
interest or did life  get in the way?  I am looking forward to getting
started and I think I  can do well.  I have a lot of patience with things 
and
I seldom give  up on a project.

hello Dwight,

I took two or three weaving loom classes in  college and really loved them. 
I
have worked on both a table and a floor  loom. I could only see light and
colors up very close to my eyes. So I did  everything by feel. I can tell 
you
that it is definitely something a blind  person can do. I was the only
visually impaired person in the class and  with an enthusiastic  and
interested instructor it was easy for me to  learn. preparing the loom for
weaving by measuring the wool and rolling it  onto the loom and threading 
the
heddles is the tricky part. it is fun  making designs and patterns using
different textures of yarn and purposely  creating gaps in the fabric.
Good luck with your class. Let your instructor  know that there are other
visually impaired folks who have successfully  mastered this craft before
you.

Cathy  F
