RARE Thought Products, Inc. "Barbara V" Weaving Loom

Beautiful and rare Thought Products, Inc. Barbara V floor loom. These do not come up for sale very often. Solid cherry. 3 owners (only the original owner and I used this loom. I bought it from someone who never assembled it).

Innovative convertible loom w/ 64" weaving width:

• 3 fabric modes w/ 8 harness/10 treadles & overhead beater: countermarche, jack, counterbalance. 2 tapestry modes

• 2 harness upright w/ beater/2 treadles and free-form gobelin tapestry

• Friction brakes, double warp beams, lease sticks, built-in raddle

• 55" wide matching cherry adjustable bench

• All hardware and illustrated manual.

I hate to part with this loom, but I'm moving and no longer have room for this beauty. It's a large, sturdy and ingeniously designed loom.

Dimensions: 81"w X 54"d X 80"h

I only used it in tapestry free-form mode and it weaves beautifully. Loom is 90% refinished (cleaned, oiled). I never got to refinishing the harness assemblies; but it's a simple matter of cleaning and re-oiling the wood and cleaning the metal parts which have some rust. Some water stains on lower wooden braces but does not affect loom performance. 2 reeds. 400, brand new, 10" heddles for tapestry mode.

Loom is disassembled, wrapped and labeled for ease in moving and assembling. All parts intact. Picture is not of my loom for sale; but from the manual and marketing materials when this loom company was in business as my loom is already packed up.

$500 firm. Very good condition!

Must pickup as it's too large to ship. Location is the New Jersey shore in Monmouth County, zipcode 07732. All sales final.
