Glimakra looms

We are your expert US source for the following Glimakra looms:

Also we offer an extensive array of Glimakra parts and accessories.

Julia - "the little red loom" (available in late Summer 2008)

Julia is a brand new loom from Glimakra. We have been working with the designers and manufacturers over the last several months to fine-tune this loom for optimal comfort and function. Designed to start out as a 2 shaft loom for new weavers, it can easily be used with 4 and 6 shafts as well. See also my demo mini-movie about Julia.

All Julia looms include: 500 heddles, Texsolv tie-up cords, 24 warp sticks, 2 lease sticks, tie bars, 2 shaft supports, 4 shaft safety pins, stick shuttle, reed hook, and instructional DVD.
Note: It turns out our first shipment of Julia looms will not be red! Please ask us about this if it's important to you.

The Standard - "top of the line"

The Standard is an extremely versatile loom. You can start with the basic model, 4 harnesses and 6 treadles. As your interest in weaving develops and your knowledge increases, you can add more harnesses and treadles to your Standard. It is designed so that you can equip it whenever you want, with accessories such as a fly shuttle beater or double warp beam. This will make your weaving even more fun and advanced. It can be outfitted with drawloom attachments as well: either a single unit draw system or shaft draw system of up to a hundred pattern shafts, or even a combination of the two. More photos and details are available at the Gunnar Anderssons site.

All Standard looms include: bench, 4 rubber feet, 1000 heddles, tie-up cords, 4 shaft safety pins, 2 shaft supports, 2 lease sticks, and 48 warp sticks.
