i knit and crochet and make peg looms for sale but had never entertained the idea of buying a weaving loom. However, I was presented with the chance to buy a vintage (1976) Macomber loom today and hook line and sinker did it. The original sales receipt says it is a 24 inch 4 harness. Sadly I do not even know what a harness is on a loom. I am an old farm girl and know what a harness is for a horse but know this is different. Lol. the loom was assembled and I hope I have all the parts. I am still on the way home but will post a picture once there. I paid $150. I hope that was a deal but I have wasted more money then that buying lunches out when I could have taken food from home before I retired. Anyone want to step in here and give advise I am all ears. Do I need to oil, clean or whatever before I start? Help me If you please. Pat
