Glimaka Tapestry Loom - The Regina SOLD
I am selling my Glimaka 2 harness tapestry loom - the Regina - as I have had to stop weaving for health reasons. This loom is out of production but it is a very desirable loom for tapestries and rugs as the brakes on each side of the loom keep the tension on the warp stable. The weaving width is 60", and the overall dimensions of the loom are 74"X77"X47". It currently holds a 5 foot long X 40 inch wide sein twine cotton warp at 7 ends to the inch preserved with a cross. Along the back of the loom are pegs that are intended to be used as a warping board.

Details: Asking $1,300 for the loom and accessories. Optional tie-up system $200 additional.
The loom is located in San Luis Obispo County, California. I really don't want to crate and ship it. I'll deliver within California for the price of gas (and help reassemble it), or you can pick it up. Disassembled, it should fit in most mid-sized or larger cars (compact or smaller would be tight unless you can remove seats).
The loom was second-hand when I bought it. It was my primary loom from 1993 to 1997, but hardly used after that. I'm selling it to make room in the studio for a jacquard. The Glimakra is a great loom , as good for rugs as for fine threads.
Photos available; contact me at or by email at
Happy weaving! Sandra

Gobelin Style Tabletop Tapestry Loom (24 inch). This is a small loom that I
found in an antique shop in Wisconsin. It is stamped
Vavstotsfabriken Glimakra Sweden. I'm not sure of its age. There
were 6 warp knobs missing from the top that I had made by a
woodworker. I added rubber end caps to the bars and purchased a 24 inch, 10
dent reed to go with it. From Glimakra I was able to get information on
warping the loom. Since I know little about this loom and have not used
it, I'm asking $150.
