GLIMAKRA STANDARD LOOMS
Call Us to order the Glimakra Looms STANDARD is a well constructed, sturdy loom that you can use for all types of weaving. It is designed with open side frame allowing you easy access for threading and tie-up. The ratchets for both the warp and cloth beams are conveniently mounted on the outside of the loom so that you can utilize the entire weaving width. It is crafted of pine, all holes are predrilled so that you can add accessories at any time. The Standard is available with counterbalance, or horizontal countermarch. (Vertical countermarch can be special ordered at additional cost.) In the counterbalance tie up the harnesses are balanced against each other. Counterbalance is easy to tie up, easy to treadle, quiet and simple. The disadvantage is that it is limited to balanced tie ups. (An equal # of harnesses against each other) In the countermarch tie up the harnesses are raised or lowered independently of each other. The countermarch is quiet, provides easier treadling, an even shed and more consistent tension: an advantage for multi harness weaving, delicate warps, where tight tension is needed, etc. It does take longer to tie up and adjust. Please request further information from me if needed. The Standard is available in widths of 39, 47, 59, or 63 inches with 4 harnesses and 6 treadles up to 16 harnesses and 16 treadles. The maximum height with counterbalance is 70 inches, with horizontal countermarch is 72 inches, & with vertical countermarch is 7 inches". Weight is 264 to 319 lbs. Included with the loom are 4 rubber non-slip feet, 2 lease sticks, 48 warp sticks, shaft holders, mallet, bench, 1000 Texsolv heddles, tie up kit, and assembly instructions. Includes everything except the reed. Optional Accessories available separately: Fly Shuttle Beater, Double Warp Beam, Damask and Opphamata attachments, Draw Loom Kit. |
