THE LOOM WIZARD

Having trouble setting up your loom?  In a muddle with warping?

It can be so frustrating when all you want to do is start weaving....so....why not call in the Loom Wizard?  I will travel to you to help you to sort out any problems you are experiencing with your loom.  With over 25 years of experience with all types of hand looms (excluding dobby looms) I have set up and fine tuned numerous looms.  I can also help with warping and tie-ups.

DL1. George Wood Dobby Loom

Thought to be an early example of a George Wood Dobby Loom, probably about 0.5m width.
This loom has been in store for a number of years. It belongs to my daughter, but she has nowhere to use it and has asked me to  sell it to a good home. As far as I know, all the bits are there, including 3 shuttles. It was being used some years ago before it  was taken apart for transport and storage. I have more photographs which can be emailed if required.
