For Sale

8 shaft Leclerc Nilus 45" wide with 10 back-hinged treadles. Upgraded in 2007 so it does have two different colors of wood but it works well. Only parting with it for lack of time.

Can sell with warping board and homemade Leclerc style boat shuttle if you want. Plain beam, no bench.

Would consider helping move and set-up if not too far. Price $1500.

Help Wanted

I’m looking for an experienced fiber artist to help me sort this pile.  I have floor looms, table looms, spinning wheels, knitting machines, and stuff I can’t identify.  I need to match loose pieces and accessories to the machines they go with, and price it all to sell.  What’s in it for you?  I’m willing to pay a reasonable fee for your time, offer you first crack at buying, or both.  Please call Peg at 763-537-6974.

AVL Loom
AVL 40” 16-harness folding modular loom with back beam extension
Features:

  • mechanical dobby
  • 100 dobby bars
  • pegs and peg tool
  • polyester heddles
  • bottom swing beater
  • ½ yard sectional beam
  • cloth storage
  • lock and brake advance
  • self-standing bench

Extras include a folding spool rack, which holds up to 48 spools, tension box with yarn counter, 3 reeds at 8, 10, 12 dpi, and the 2 original manuals, one for loom assembly, and one for weaving instruction.

This loom was built in the 1990’s and is number #01556 – Batch #3A-90. It is constructed of the really nice hard maple first used in AVL looms, with a clear finish. This loom was converted to the mechanical dobby after it was purchased, so there is a box of modular parts if you wanted to convert it back. You could also upgrade it to a compudobby and add a fly shuttle for production weaving. This loom has been lovingly used, and is in beautiful and excellent condition.

Asking $6,000, and must be picked up in Brule, Wisconsin, near Duluth, MN, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Please contact Joyce at 715-372-4858.
