For Christmas I received a Glimåkra Gobelin. It is in very good condition but has no accompanying information. I'm very interested in learning to use the knobs on the top to tension the warp. Is anyone familiar with this style of loom? I'm wondering if there are Swedish tapestry books that might describe their use. I don't read Swedish but I'm a dogged translator.

Manual to Glimakra Gobelin
Hi,
Would you be willing to send me the manual? I just acquired the Glimakra Gobelin and have only every worked on table looms, so am seeking all the help I can get to start weaving on this beauty.

Hi Cynthia, I don't own one
Hi Cynthia, I don't own one of these tapestry looms and I can't help you with it's setup. I just wanted to congratulate you on your beautiful Christmas gift!
I have admired these looms for a long time. Enjoy her and be sure to let us know how you are getting along. Would love to see what you make on her.
