Things are worth what they will fetch at a sale.

54″ Bergman Folding Loom Needs a New Home!

A lovely little loom in San Carlos awaits its next owner. This is a four-shaft, countermarch loom that was designed to fold up so it could be transported, (See write up about Margaret and John Bergman and their looms under “Resources->Historical Information” on the Eugene Textile Center site.) Folded, the loom is 54” wide, 49.5” high and 20” in depth. When open and ready to weave, the depth is 45”. Like many table looms, this floor loom is designed to hold the warp in place while it is folded and transported.

The loom needs new heddles.(Its string heddles are still there, but they are very old.) It also needs some TLC. But the design is ingenious! There is one reed; no bench. (Ergonomically, you could easily sit in an office chair adjusted to your height to weave.)

The family would like to give it to someone who will use and enjoy it. If you are interested, please contact Betsy Blosser at bblosser@sfsu.edu.
