4. Four Shaft Counterbalance Floor Loom

Douglas Andrew (Canterbury) Kentish Floor Loom.  It weaves approx. width 90-95 cm has 4 shafts and 5 pedals. It has waxed thread healds/heddles. 

There are several reeds some in need of de-rusting. A selection of accessories shuttles/raddle etc. The frame has holes drilled in the side for the insertion of dowelling pegs to create a warping frame. I no longer have the dowelling pegs, but they are easy to replace.   Images available on request.

Collection only from Essex.

5. Vertical Loom

Delightful hand-made vertical loom made from European beech with stainless steel fittings.

Dimensions: 37” (93cms) wide, 69” (175cms) tall and 23” (58cms) wide, including the feet. The maximum width for weaving is approximately 28” (71cms) and length maybe up to 100” (254cms).

The unique shed system allows for simple tabby weave using standard heddles and the removable raddle allows the on-going weaving to move around the loom. The top bar is adjustable to increase/ decrease tension and the warping sticks allow economic use of warp threads.

Also included is a beech beater.

Vertical looms are ideal for tapestries, rugs, scarves and wall hangings and great if you don’t have the space for a floor loom.

This loom is ‘collect only’ (from North Devon, EX18) and we will talk you through how to use it. At the moment the loom is warped up for demonstration purposes. It can be dissembled but it is probably best to transport it whole in the back of a van or estate car.
