Located in Central New Jersey. You pick up or I will deliver up to 200 miles from my home for a delivery cost of $1 per mile roundtrip and my gas. The Norwood Workshop loom and Siske Spinning wheel can be shipped if I take them apart. $275 each for Fedex shipping, insurance and me packing for either the Norwood Workshop loom or the Siske spinning wheel. The Beka 60" loom and Norwood 30" looms can be shipped, but buyer will have to pay shipping and packing by UPS Store where I can drop them off.
Loom 1: 30" weaving width cherry Norwood floor loom with 8 harnesses and 9 treadles. I moved recently and can't find the 10th treadle. If I do, I will include it. If I don't, you can have one made, but I have been weaving patterns with 9 or less treadles so far and no problems. Either way, I'm selling it as is. Includes 2" sectional beam, approx. 800 flat steel heddles (no rust), 12 epi stainless steel reed, one stick shuttle. I've had this loom for 15 years, but I don't know its true age. It works great and I weave almost everything on it. Price is $2,000 pickup or you pay for shipping.
Loom #2: Norwood cherry wood folding worksop loom, 4H direct tie-up with the X or scissor frame. 22" weaving width, about 400 heddles, includes 15 epi reed, one stick shuttle. Great condition, I made many scarves, towels and shawls on this loom. If you're new to weaving or have many years of experience, this is a very good choice. $875 pickup or delivery for extra (see my first paragraph).
Loom #3: 60" weaving width Beka cherry wood 8 harness 10 treadle jack loom w/1000 flat steel heddles. I bought the heddles brand new about a year ago. Includes one 12 epi reed, one stick shuttle. I used this loom to weave everything from bookmarks to blankets and it does a great job. Very good condition. Loom was taken apart for storage. Comparable new cherry loom this size would be over $5,000. My price is $2,000 pickup or delivery for extra (see my first paragraph).
Spinning wheel handmade by Tom Siske in 1988 from cherry wood. Beautiful, smooth spinner of fine to worsted weight yarns. Includes six bobbins, no lazy kate. Anyone who knows about Tom Siske's wheels will tell you they are excellent spinners. Very good condition. Comparable quality handspinning wheel would be $1,700 +. My price is $900 pickup or delivery for extra (see my first paragraph).
