For Sale: 16 shaft, PDL, 60” wide in W. NC. $6500 OBO
This loom was made for me in 1989. But I have continuously upgraded it.
Finished doing blankets so am selling this loom to downsize my studio space.
I have the original shipping boxes for the beams and CD IV though I’d prefer not to have to organize a shipment. If you want to see this loom in action, I would put a narrow warp on it for you to try. If you need a detailed picture of anything or have questions, let me know via PM.
