I've loved old spinning wheels and weaving looms since long before I learned to weave and spin, nearly 30 years ago. Even as a child, I was intrigued with the artistry and grace of spinning wheels, and massive power of weaving looms. I hope you enjoy looking at some of our "finds" and perhaps give one a good home.
Have an unusual antique wheel (perhaps one with 2 flyers or 2 treadles) or used spinning wheel, table loom or interesting piece of equipment you'd like to trade in? We may be interested!

SCANDINAVIAN CHAIR-STYLE SPINNING WHEEL, ANTIQUE This is a very nice wheel. It is believed to be from around the 1800's, Scandinavian, and is functional although would not be easy for a new spinner to use. All original, leather replaced on the treadle. As is usual with antique spinning wheels, the wheel exhibits a few cosmetic chips and joints are not as tight as they were 200 years ago. This wheel has 2 bobbins (one is a bit shorter than the original but works properly). The wood is beautiful and has a nice patina and has been recently oiled. Dimensions are 32H x 35L x 19D. $325 with free shipping. | |

USED GLIMAKRA 59" (150 centimeter) 8 HARNESS WEAVING LOOM What a beautiful loom! This is a used 8 harness 8 treadle 150 (59" weaving width) Glimakra Swedish Weaving Loom. It is currently set up as a counterbalance, but can easily be upgraded to an 8 harness, 10 treadle countermarche loom. Glimakra looms are extremely sturdy, excellently designed, and can be used for weaving both fine fabrics, heavy rugs, and both beautifully simple or extremely detailed patterns. We can help you order the appropriate parts for the countermarche conversion, if you wish. The photo does not show the harnesses and tie-ups yet, but soon new photos will be added. At this time we have assembed 4 of the harnesses for demonstration purposes, but the rest of the harnesses and pulleys are of course included as well. This great loom features a 15 dent reed in very good condition, 1500 heddles (600 new texsolv and 900 original cotton) and a huge weaving width! Very good condition, and it comes with a bench, lease sticks, 24 warp separator sticks, a long batten, and 6 rag shuttles. Just $1499. (If purchased new, this loom would be priced at over $4000.) Due to its size, this loom must be picked up at our Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin warehouse, so please be prepared to do so within 3 weeks of placing your order. We will contact you with directions as soon as we receive your order. Sorry, this loom has been sold. | |

ANTIQUE DANISH WEAVING LOOM Four Harness six treadle Counterbalance Floor Loom, approx. 26" weaving width. Overall dimensions 32" x 72" x 36" deep; it is tall but does not have too large a footprint.

The fine print-
All used and antique items are sold as is and are non-returnable. All information supplied, and all claims made, are done so in good faith. Used items may be shipped unassembled. We will provide you with basic directions for assembly when necessary. We believe the age and ethnic origin of antique wheels
or looms to be accurate in that we have supplied
the information that was made available to us when we discovered this equipment.
Any repairs or replacements made in our shop, or divulged to us by the
previous owners, are included in the descriptions above. Minimal cosmetic
repairs have been made, in order to preserve their original value. This means the finish may be variable and
there may be some chips, holes or defects in the wood, which, except
when noted, will not affect the useability of the piece. We hope you
feel, as we do, that this only adds to the character!
Thank you for your interest in our antique wheels and looms!
