Loom has repaired cracks in the top of the castle and in one treadle bar holder. Neither flaw affects weaving, but has been priced to reflect them.
I’ve also replaced the elastics on the beater as the originals were dried out and wouldn’t last much longer.
The loom can be set up to be used with the treadles as a 4 harness floor loom or as an 8 harness loom to be used with the levers.
It folds up for easy storage and portability, it easily fits in a VW beetle even without folding the loom.
Selling because I bought this loom used 6 months ago, and it has turned out to just not be the loom for me.
Asking $600 Loom is located just west of Asheville, NC. Pickup is preferred, though I am willing to drive a couple of hours to deliver.
