Greetings from An Tir in the Far North west. I have been a member of the SCA for many years and have learned many new things because of it. Currently I have a 4 harness Macomber loom in my living room that I found in a thrift store for 100 dollars. I had to do a bunch of cleaning and buy a reed but now I have all the loom I can ever use and I am even thinking about loaning it out to other Scadians that might want to learn. I have been weaving rugs mostly since I got the loom in August and as soon as I get this warp off I want to rewarp and make a sideless sir coat for me. Then i think I will be done weaving for awhile and an find someone else to enjoy this great old loom. We may just keep her in the family but my arms and shoders are getting too old to weave very long so I work a while and quit for a few days.
Event this weekend. May be life changing, we will see.
Well yes there might be a few pieces missing but for $45 dollars you can replace a few parts.
I just thought someone might want one and live close. It is a better thrift shop find than my $100 Macomber. I had to buy a reed and make some heddles but so what. I'm happy. Hope this one finds a careing owner that wants to weave.
