Hi everyone,
Someone in my hometown is parting with a LeClerc loom. They are not asking any money for it but just want to ensure that it will go to someone from the area who will use it and take care of it. I learned on an 8 shaft Macomber ad a harness loom, which I quite enjoyed. I also worked on baby wolfs a little bit, which I didn't like as much. See below about the info they posted on it. I really would love to take the plunge but I'm nervous as I don't live in my hometown year-round (I'm actually in the US now, not Canada), and it is rather big. Thoughts? Does anyone have a Mira II? Thank you!
This is about as much detail as they gave about it so far- "Nina Manners, of Camilla Valley Farm Weavers Supply, of Orangeville, said, “The loom is what Leclerc originally called their “Series M Rigid Loom” which was later called the “Mira” loom. Based on the logo and the mechanism, the loom was probably made some time between 1944 and 1948 in l'Islet, Québec by Nilus Leclerc Inc. The company is one of the oldest in Canada and is still making a variant of this loom called the Mira II.”
