The loom is located in San Luis Obispo County, California. I really don’t want to crate and ship it. I’ll deliver within California for the price of gas (and help reassemble it), or you can pick it up. Disassembled, it should fit in most mid-sized or larger cars (compact or smaller would be tight unless you can remove seats).
The loom was second-hand when I bought it, and according to Joanne Hall of Glimakra USA, probably built in the early 1980s. It was my primary loom from 1993 to 1997, but hardly used after that. I’m selling it to make room in the studio for the jacquard. The Glimakra is a great loom – as good for rugs as for fine threads.
If interested, contact me by email (sandra at 3springshandworks dot com). If anyone in your local guild might be in the market, please feel free to pass along the link to this post.
Happy weaving!

If you were in Michigan, I would be on your doorstep in a minute! With cash, for the whole package.
Exceptionally good pricing on loom and tie up assist! My 20+ tie up assist was $800 new for 12 shafts and 16 treadles....
No more crawling under the loom!
(Links to tie up assist set up can be found at my blog if you are considering buying this lovely loom and would like more info on set up and benefits)
Hope this is okay with you Sandra...
Hi, Susan,
Of course that's okay with me! Your setup is much tidier looking than mine, because it is a commercial product. Mine is DH-built, and as an engineer he's more interested in functionality than appearance :^)
Thanks - Sandra
you're getting a Jacq! I am sooo envious! Congratulations and I cannot wait to see what you do with it. Next "windfall" I get is going into one of those!
Check out MY blog..http://weaversouth.blogspot.com/

Hi Sandra, I stumbled upon your blog and I was hoping that you might be able to offer some advice. I am very interested in learning to loom. I have a small lap loom and very much enjoy the process. I have the opportunity to procure a 48 inch, 16 treadle loom, however I was told that I need to purchase a dobby because the man that used the loom used it for small proofs, he actually used the loom to prove mathematical problems. :-) Anyways, I was hoping for some advice, Thoughts?

Hi, I really like your blog. I am not a weaver, however I have always wanted to try my hand at looming. A couple of months ago, I was given a loom,, but I can't get it to work. I was wondering if you might know of anyone that could offer thoughts if I uploaded photos?
