SV: Re: Vertical Warp-weighted loom

[Irene Lyng]

Hello Eva

 

As far as I remember the looms at the picture (there are two) are "homemade" of the users.

Maybee Guido Gehlhaahr, who's picture it is, will write, and tell you more. But I do not think, there are shops, where to buy them.

But tell me, does it have to be a free-standing, warp-weighted loom you are looking for??, oreels might my weavingboard be a salution.

I guess I should have been a little more specific.. I
am looking for the free-standing warp-weighted
vertical looms adapted for tablet weaving, not the
"viking" or "roman" styles that are for weaving cloth
and lean against the wall.

There is a small photo here of what I am looking for:
it is the last photos on the right side of the first
row
