| 8/13/06: Complete and unused "add-a-harness kit" for a Leclerc Artistat loom. All the pieces are in the kit, the original installation instructions are intact. This kit is for an earlier model of Artistat and for a 36" width. It is unassembled and easily crated for shipping. It can be sent by USPS or UPS, I've estimated shipping cost to be approx $50 depending on destination. (I'm in San Antonio, Texas) A new Add-on kit from Leclerc is $1300+, I'd like to get $450 for this one. You can e-mail me if you have any questions. Email Sarida |

It has plenty of texsolv heddles on all 16-H that are brand new. It also has a cloth storage system and apron. A manual is included. I just took my last long warp off the loom this week.... so it is in good working condition. I have plenty of pictures of the loom to share which will help a lot during assembly. If within a reasonable distance of PIttsburgh PA, I can deliver and offer assistance in setting up the loom. I have had many looms, but weaving on an AVL is the best! The sand paper beam is wonderful and the cloth storage is great! The warp beam flanges can be used to wind on the plain beams without using sticks or paper. The dobby is very easy to set up and change patterns. The heddles are conveniently marked for easy counting when threading. (Buyer pays for shipping if necessary.) A good deal at $3400. 724-348-9087.

| 6/26/06: CLEMENT, 60" Jack type 4 harness floor loom. This is a very versatile loom that can easily handle heavy assignments like rugs as well as more delicate weaving. It is made of hard rock maple, is well finished, and in good condition. There was a chipped right end on the beater which was well repaired. A completely new warp beam has been professionally made on which the original 1" sectional dividers are attached. The friction break on the warp beam works very well and is both positive and easy to use. This loom has a direct tie up treadle system which is both easy to use and versatile in that it will immediately give any tie up combination desired. I enjoy weaving on this loom and would not consider selling it except that I am tall and it is a bit too low for my height. I will dismantle, provide reference photographs, pack and ship it to you for actual materials and freight costs. I will be happy to deliver it up to 250 miles for 50 cents per mile one way. Email me for other photos and any other questions you may have. Located 50 miles NW of L.A. I will trade for Cranbrook or Harrisville Rug loom. Sale price: $950 US dollars. Email Bob |

First Loom: Jack Floor Loom, 8 harness, 10 treadles, Approximate weaving width 45 inches. This loom is handmade from Colorado, probably in 1970s. It is in very good condition and I have not used it since I bought it. I was to learn to weave, but then had children and well, no time. The loom will need a few parts--new reeds and heddles, but would be a wonderful loom for anyone at a bargain price. New looms like this are well over $1500-2000. Price: $500
Second loom: Counterbalance floor loom, 4 harness, 6 treadles, Approximate weaving width 35". This loom is also handmade from Colorado, same time period. This loom is in pieces (as we moved it from Colorado) and you would need to re-assemble. All pieces are there and this loom has heddles with it. This is a large loom (floor space wise) and I understand would be wonderful for weaving heavier items, like rugs. Price: $300.
Special price--buy them together for $700--a bargain for weavers. I wanted to keep them, but would have to put them in storage as the house we are moving to is much much smaller with little storage. I won't be able to get to weaving for 5 years or more and just can't hold on to them that long. I need to find a home for them in the next 10 days. Please call for more information: 816-841-9286. I will not ship these looms, although we may be able to help with local delivery if you don't have a truck. Cash/money order/cashier's check or pay pal. We are located in Bates City, MO -- 30 miles east of Kansas City. Email Heatherly
