- Table Loom with Stand for Sale May 22, 2017
ASHFORD TABLE LOOM WITH ACCESSORIES$800. 24” Ashford Table Loom, 4 shafts, folding stand with treadles, ~500 heddles, raddle, 10 dent reed, lease sticks, and original documentation. All this new would cost $1500 + tax and shipping. I purchased this loom 10 years ago from the original owner who had only used it a few times, and taught myself to weave. It is still my favorite loom to take to workshops as it breaks down easily, travels flat even when warped, and is direct tie-up so I can treadle anything on the fly without having to get on the floor to change the tie-up. There are inch marks on the bottom edge of the beater to assist with threading, added by me (see photo). At the moment, it has a 300 thread dummy warp attached and threaded in a plain twill pattern, but I’ll remove it if you don’t want to use it. I’m selling to make room, and help pay for, my new-to-me BIG Swedish loom. If you’re a new weaver, or wanting to learn, I’ll throw in a copy of “Learning to Weave with Debbie Redding” (Deborah Chandler’s original book). Pickup only from Angleton, Texas, or I’ll consider meeting up within 200 miles of Houston. Theresa 713-408-2725

- Loom for Sale July 31, 2016
Structo tabletop loom, Model 705-7986. The weaving width is 26 inches and the levers face you (not on the side). This loom has been completely restored – maple wood has been sanded, stained, clear coated. All of the metal pieces were sanded, treated with ospho and painted. There is a new stainless steel ten dent reed and new heddles that were special ordered. The front beam strapping was replaced and we also made a cloth apron.
We need to make room in our studio so we would be willing to sell this loom for $400. We do prefer pickup by the buyer. We put a fair amount of money into this loom and a lot of time restoring it. If you are interested, please let me know and I will send more pics. We are located about three hours southwest of Houston.
Thanks –
Mike
