My wife has been weaving for about 3 years at a local city supported Art Center.
I bought a Macomber Loom for her in October, the person who I purchased it from thought that it was 40 or 50 years old. It does not have a mark on it.
It is a Model B-4 - Serial # 2258x - It is a 48" Loom with 12 Harnesses, 14 Treadles and has room for 3 additional Harnesses and two beams on the rear, one
with sections and one without.
The overall width of the loom measured from the inside of each castle is 54 5/8 in. and the depth measured from the inside of the castle is 7 9/16 in.
My wife loves her new loom and I am looking for and additional items that I could purchase for her that she might enjoy. She has a couple of nice
Shuttles and I purchased a 48' Fluorescent fixture with 4 Daylight Bulbs, which I suppended from the ceiling with 4 small chains, so that we could adjust height for
the best lighting conditions. Since the unit was designed to be installed on the ceiling I painted a 1/8 in. piece of plywood and mounted on the top of the fixture
so that all of the light would be directed ownward.
I am getting ready this week to make her a Bobbin Winder. Any sugguestions of ideas on items for would be helpful for my wife would greatly be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mike
