Just how practical is it to Move a Warp-weighted Loom from between the Interior and Exterior of a Roundhouse?
An experimental programme at Butser Ancient Farm run between 2015 and 2017 was to investigate weaving within a roundhouse on a warp-weighted loom.

| Sumario: | An experimental programme at Butser Ancient Farm run between 2015 and 2017 was to investigate weaving within a roundhouse on a warp-weighted loom. Part of these investigations was an examination into the feasibility of moving the loom in and out of the house, to take advantage of the longer daylight available in summer. The programme also reviewed the potential of two-post structure features for weaving, especially after reviewing the Glastonbury Meare Lake excavations weights found near these structures (Earwood, 1988). The results provided some surprising observations. |
