My NZ retrofit computer-controlled works for now, but the loom maker passed away, the interface software is iffy, and one day the loom is going to be much too big for me to get around, and I've been thinking in the next five years I'd like to invest in a computer-interface where the loom itself is a little smaller, and something that has more than 16 shafts. I'd appreciate your thoughts, albeit brief, on how you finally decided on the Toika. Thanks. Kaz, do you mind posting, at some stage, which looms you looked at as your options?

I have a Toika (but not the computer control) and everyone who sees it says how beautiful it is. I'm sure your new loom is a very good choice.

Keep doing what you are doing in your own original way with confidence and commitment, so that, perhaps, other weavers might be informed by your work and in turn produce their 'original ideas'.
