Hi Lisa,

It works really well if you have the space.  Each cord has a 
separate weight and
simply hangs over the end of the loom, so when the twist buildup becomes too
much you can just unwind it and carry on weaving.  Even more cunning versions
have swivels between the cord and the weight.  The loom is really 
easy to make;
you can see a basic example and some instructions here:

Cheers,
Eckhard.

That's a lovely solution, given the space to leave it set up!  And I 
must thank you; I've downloaded your GTT program and had a great deal 
of fun with it, playing with colors and patterns.  It's a gem of a program!

Lisa
