Warp-weighted looms, yes. I even bought the booklet this house museum in um, Sussex? sold, and remained confuzzled. (The Weald and Kent Museum, I think. They had the archeological remains of loom and weights, and a speculative? repro of the whole set-up, and the booklet, and I still couldn't make sense of it.) You've used an Anglo-Saxon loom? Congratulations on your adaptability.
Embroidery's easier, that's nearer to two-dimensional! (Indeed, there was a stage in a history of art and architecture course when I was elected the resident 'expert' on embroidery by the highly-qualified lecturer who knew nothing of it and made no bones about it. You could tell embroidery was a tiny part of the curriculum! That was one of the best four years I ever spent in evening classes. Her teaching, not my derisory status.)
