Got one of these from my step daughter who knows I knit, crochet, and cross stitch. Didn't come pre-strung so I'll be looking up a lot of videos! Luckily I have so much thread and yarn stashed I don't think I'll need to buy anything for a while (famous last words). This is a whole new language to learn, excited to be here!
Check out our wiki, here on reddit, for lots of resources!
I will, thanks!
Looks like soft wood not hard wood, and the brakes look kind of delicate, so be careful not to go overboard with the warp tension. Just use enough tension to get a clean shed.
The instructions say it's Pine, so you're a good guesser! I'm going to poly it but knowing me I was going to crank down on the tension, so thank you for that tip!
