47" Standard Glimakra Loom
I have a Glimakra Standard Countermarch Horizontal Weave Loom with a 47" weaving width, also have many very nice extras like the Glimakra bench, a trapeze and angel wings, etc. which are wonderful helpers for getting the warp on right! And I live in Haines Alaska. I have 2 ideas about this loom.
One is that in a couple of years I'll be ready to let go of every weaving thing I own, and I'll find someone who will take all I have and who'll come to Haines, pay "a song" and we'll pack it all up for them to take away.
The second idea is that I could find someone who'd, sooner rather than later, like to trade a 39" weaving width Glimakra Standard Countermarch Horizontal Weave Loom OR some other brand of loom that size that's excellent for weaving rag rugs for my 47” width loom. Again, someone who wants to drive to Haines, so no heavy-duty shipping is involved, so there’s help dismantling and setting up.
One further notion that’s come up is would I buy a USED 39" weave width Glimakra Standard Countermarch Horizontal Weave Loom if someone could bring it here? (Haines is super beautiful if Alaska looms large in your own mind, pun intended.) I don’t know the answer now but would consider if it were offered.
I'm putting this vision out into the world and Glimakra U.S.A. has this very nice spot for such a posting. No photo now. Though I don't know when this loom was made, I bought it used in the early 2000's and it looks like the photo of a new one for sale on this site.
Please get in touch if there's any interest at all in any of my ideas or if you have a better idea. I'm hoping something here will speak to someone out there. : 0 )

Glimakra Standard loom, 120 cm, with Myrehed Combination Draw Loom
Glimakra Standard loom, 120 cm wide with Myrehed Combination Draw Loom
Attachment. The Glimakra Standard Loom has 10 ground harnesses and all
the pieces to do countermarch and counterbalance. The Myrehed
Combination Draw Loom Attachment can do up to 50 pattern shafts (I have
21 shafts) and also does single units at the same time. Also included
is a 1 inch sectional beam that is homemade. It is easily removable if
you want a smooth beam. You also get a custom made ergonomic bench by
Walter Turpenning. The loom has all Texsolv heddles for both pattern
and ground heddles. This loom has only had 3 warps on it. Kept in a
nonsmoking house with no pets.
Am willing to ship this loom but it is pricey! There is an alternative
to shipping this loom. The weather and the golf in Scottsdale is
great. My husband and I run a one bedroom bed and breakfast through Air
BnB. We are willing to have a weaver and spouse or friend stay for a
week for free. We can take the loom apart and take cell phone pictures
so you will have a record of how to put the loom together.
Asking $6300 plus shipping if you do not want to pick it up. This is
10-20% less than a new loom.

Rakes can be removed if smooth beam is preferred. Electric motor with foot switch on warp beam; no hand cranking. Solo weaving and warp up. No waiting for help to arrive.
