He was an innovative weaver, authority on weaving techniques, fabulous writer and teacher and the inventor of “Shaft-Switching”. He lived in Nayland, England and was the author of numerous books including, \u003ci\u003eThe Techniques of Rug Weaving\u003c\/i\u003e, still considered the bible of rug weavers, and \u003ci\u003eRug Weaving Techniques: Beyond the Basics\u003c\/i\u003e. He was the first weaver in Great Britain to be awarded the OBE (Order of British Empire). I had the privilege of developing our loom with Peter and my late father. They were both geniuses at mechanical problem-solving and to see them working together was inspirational.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIf you ever met Peter Collingwood, you know how clever he was. If you didn’t have that pleasure, we want you to know that the things he did to his own looms to make them better were truly fascinating. We have incorporated all of those ideas into our Rug Loom. The result is a heavy-duty loom that is great for weaving lighter fabrics and beyond comparison for rug weaving.       \u003cem\u003e - John Colony\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eW\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003earp \u003c\/span\u003eE\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ext\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003end\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003er\u003c\/span\u003e\/\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003eTe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ension \u003c\/span\u003eE\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003equaliz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003er \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis an innovative mechanism that Peter Collingwood developed to solve the problem of maintaining equal warp tension throughout an entire rug.
