LOOM FOR SALE
I
am selling a beautiful antique 4-harness loom. It was my husband’s
Grandmother’s, and is at least 90 years old. It has a unique history as
well. It was once used in a Colorado prison to weave blankets and
outfits for the prisoners. The wood, I believe, is teak and was
refinished in the 60’s or 70’s. Weaving width is 42”, and it has 4
treadles.
I am including additional frames and a box of shuttles and other weaving implements. A bench is also included. I live in Brigham City. The loom would have to be disassembled to remove it from the house. If interested, please call me. Price is $900.00 or best offer.

LOOM FOR SALE
The
loom is a herald loom, 48" with a 40" reed.. it is very nice, altho the wood (I
think it is maple) could use a little wax ,,,It has 4 harnesses,,,,,foot
operated,,,,,,when a treadle is depressed the harness goes up,, I think you
call that a rising shed loom...
I have severe arthritis in my hands,, some days I can hardly use my right hand,,, I am unable to tie knots etc. I really hate to sell this loom but keeping it is selfish and impractical ,,
I would like
to sell it for $250.00
(I also have a warping board and the book, Learning to Weave that would be
included)
