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 350cm (138")
4H Floor Loom. Improvements: Air Power, Metal Harnesses and Heddles, Electric Motor on Thread Beam. Weave fine tapestry or thick wool rugs & saddle blankets. Air Power on the overhead beater, no effort, faster, tighter rug. 9.5" high, 6 dent reed. Bigger shed = bigger shuttles. Harnesses and Heddles all metal, air lifted. Faster - no clumsy treadles. No retying treadles. No awkward gymnastics trying to hold a treadle down while throwing a shuttle when weaving a 10' wide rug. Harnesses are independently raised - each raised by its own air cylinder creating balanced or unbalanced weave patterns. 2" sectional warp beam. No reel mess. 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. One switch on the front breast beam operates air power on all four locking brakes. No walk-around to lift, advance, lower brakes to advance cloth every few inches. Produces a better rug than looms many times the price, no clumsy treadles or weak beams that bend under tension. A Glimakra loom is massive and well-constructed with 6" diameter steel beams all around. Easily disassembled and reassembled - we did it twice.
