This is a vintage Lillstina 45 inch counterbalance floor loom. Comes with a manual. Folds nicely to store or move. Has new hand-made string heddles, 6 treadles (two which are currently tied up in a plain weave) and three reeds. The reeds are as follows: a 45 inch 9 dent reed, a 10 dent 36 inch reed and a 3 dent 35 inch stainless reed. No other equipment comes with.
This loom has the following due to age:
There are small cracks in the wood with the most prominent crack in the right hand back beam side support as shown in Image 9. It had been previously repaired. The loom shows no known structural defects. Slight rust on the metal parts and carbon reeds. The beater is a swinging beater that has a slight 1/8” difference between the right and left side. It makes beating easier than I thought it would.
The loom can be used for fabric or rugs. Stronger loom than it looks and can take a tighter warp than at first glance. Loom is located in Rochester, NY 14625 and asking price is $425.
Pick up only.
This item is not returnable after you have removed it from my home. Sale can be canceled if you decide that it is the wrong loom for you after sitting and weaving on it. Not every loom is perfect for every weaver. Contact me if you need more images or have a question. I have tried to mention every defect in this loom whether slight or not.
