I purchased this loom through my weaving guild in the fall of 2014. It was my first floor loom. I’ve woven kitchen towels, multiple scarves, several baby blankets, including an 8-shaft huck lace, and numerous samples.
The previous owner said the loom was from the late 1970s. It has some marks/stains on the wood, especially the seat.
I found this loom comfortable to weave on and easy to find which treadle to use without looking. You can advance the warp while seated.
Just bought a loom I can upgrade to 12 shafts - and don’t need both looms.
We are located in Tacoma, WA. (south of Seattle)
