The Raspberry Pi-powered loom

We’re a small organisation full of makers, and I think at least two of us own a hand loom for weaving textiles. (One of the reasons I enjoy the TV show  Vikings so much is the casual looming that’s going on as backdrop in many of the indoor scenes – the textile sort, not the impending-doom sort, although there’s plenty of that too.) Siggy and Laergatha (personal role model) get down to a spot of light weaving before commencing to crush skulls and pillage. Here in the 21st century, Lorna and I use hand looms because powered looms are very expensive
