Looms for Sale:
38” Two-Harness, Two Treadle Rug Loom (make unknown)
Once owned by Janice Quinn, former Guild member and rug weaver from Farmington. Loom was donated to Weftovers a few years ago while our house was under construction, and I’m finally getting around to moving it along. Includes 1
raddle, sectional warp beam, and five stainless steel Whitaker reeds -15, 10, 8 (two of these), & 4 dent. Loom is disassembled and would probably fit into an SUV or car with fold-down seats. If I have a buyer, I can deliver it to the next Guild meeting, or we can make other arrangements. Proceeds of sale to benefit Weftovers Scholarship fund. $50 or best offer. Must go as a package – all or nothing! Find my phone number in the directory,
KC Alexander, or email me with questions at weavemaster@handweaversguildofct.org Thanks!

36” Purrington Loom
- 8 harness, 14 treadle sinking shed. Birdseye Maple and Cherry. The
tie-ups have been updated to texsolv. Good solid
loom in excellent condition. Asking $750.00
and includes a 10 dent reed and lease sticks. Contact Sue Turner
It's a
Varpapuu, a Finnish loom, similar to a Glimakra, with a
countermarche-shedding system. It's 60" wide and it has 12
shafts and a bench, nine reeds (9, wow!) and some temples. You
can put a draw loom attachment on it if desired. The price is
$2200.00. The heddles are string, as are the cords. New owner
would probably want to replace with Texsolv. This one's a real
beauty, European style, mortise & tenon construction, made of
solid birch. It's in good shape and the wood is reddish color,
not dark like a barn frame loom, just darker than the Swedish looms.
This loom is about 20 years old and has had 1 owner before me. Here is
a diagram of this loom.
