Ashford Katie Table Loom
I am selling my Katie in favor of a Louet Jane. I am happy to answer any questions. More photos available on request.
Great little workshop loom. 8 shafts, 12” weaving width.
Weighs 14 pounds. Comes with case, lease sticks, warp sticks, sley hook, 3 reeds (8, 10, and 12), Ashford Handi-Handle, and 200 extra heddles, for a total of 520. The 8 dent reed is in the beater and the Handi-Handle isn’t in the photo.
Ashford provides string for attaching the apron rods, and I used Texsolv instead.
Asking $975, cash or PayPal . Pick up only. SF Bay Area.

Gilmore loom for Sale
Great condition Gilmore 8 shaft loom with extras. 12 dent reed, Sectional beam, warping wedge, and many many heddles. My guess is close to 2000, but haven’t actually counted them all. 46” weaving width.
I’ve woven hundreds of yards of fabric on this loom, and it performs beautifully. However another large loom is coming into the house soon, and I simply don’t have room for both, so this one needs to find a new home.
Located in San Jose, Ca
$1500 OBO

Other looms and equipment
Antique loom for sale
These items are in Oakley. From the current owner:
I have had them for about 20 years, and I got them from a friend who moved out of state,
I wanted to learn how to weave but never got to it and they just take up space now.
I think they are interesting and would normally hold onto them but I think it is time someone else could actually put them to work.
The Loom I think is from the early 1900’s?
Loom, $600, warping wheel $100.

LeClerc sectional warping tensioner with LeClerc counter. Asking $125.
Oak wood spool rack, holds 52 spools, will sell with 26 spoons. Great for sectional warping but might work as a creel for rug making because this piece is very heavy. It’s made of Oak and the spindles are heavy gauge steel rods. $350.
