    Description

    The Glimakra looms of Sweden have been the top notch standard for looms for generations, long before modern American companies started producing.  This loom is finely engineered and built to last without fail.  My Viking model weaves fabric. tapestries or rugs of up to 100 centimeters in width (39 1/2 inches), has four harnesses with strong string heddles (not the rigid metal kind that fray the warp threads as you move them toward you to weave more fabric and six treadles, which allow more pattern variation.  Both the take up and warp beams are huge; the gears, hand and foot locks strong.  There are two reeds, one with 12 threads per inch, the other with 5 (the 5 is the one seen with the rug I'm weaving).  More reeds are available on line.  Included are many, many warp sticks, lease sticks, extra heddles, extra tie up cord, reusable clips, and the original book.  It's a serious work horse.  Pick up zip 81521 only, unless you pay for packers & shippers you arrange and pay for.  And because eBay will charge me for their services, you will become responsible for those costs if you decide to not pay the remainder when you pick it up.
    My vintage, retro & retro items have been used & loved by me for their history & value.
    Porcelain, china and had thrown pottery
    may have imperfections that were part of their original making.
    Jewelry, beaded bags, silk clothing and other items may show wear, even with my care, so closely examine the photos; I endeavor to point out imperfections, but please
    ask questions before buying.
    It’ll save you & I time if you don’t like it when you get it.
    Know that vintage/antique items, their cost
    & history typically mean increased value over time, so printing out a copy of your “win” is a good idea – unless you got a steal of a deal in which case, just ignore me.
    LOL.
    Even though I am, have been, and am now vaccinated from CV-19, I have not been from its variants & the medical research I’ve read indicates the new Delta strain is highly contagious, so please assume someone ill or carrying the virus has touched packages you receive. I hold purchases away from my face when I open them, spray packaging materials with alcohol, then wash my hands.
    It’s up to you how you wash or clean the item you bought, but don’t make it look different; eBay will not make me accept returns on damaged goods.
