Harrisville Looms from Harrisville Designs

Since 1972 Harrisville Designs has manufactured jack-type maple looms in an old New Hampshire textile village. Their philosophy has always been that function, quality and economy are equal elements of a sound design. Each item must be, first and foremost, a good tool. Harrisville looms are a great value and come fully assembled or as unfinished kits (with sandpaper and oil included). All looms come with a carbon reed of your choice ( 6, 8, 10, 12 or 15 dent - or pay a supplement if you want a stainless steel reed) and large eye wire heddles. Shuttles are extra. Sectional warp beams, which allow the warp to be easily and quickly beamed by one person, are available for all looms. Tool trays, raddles and tensioning devices are optional. Complete Harrisville Catalog is $4.00.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED WITH A FLOOR LOOM:
• yarn
• 2 or more boat or other shuttles
• 12 or more bobbins for boat shuttles
• reed hook and heddle hook
• warping board or mill and raddle (or sectional warp beam, tension box with counter and bobbin rack)
• book (“Learning to Weave” or "the Magic of Handweaving") and videos ( “Intro to Weaving” and “Beginning 4-harness Weaving” )

Nice to have items - in ranked order:

• bench, bobbin winder;
• a variety of shuttles, extra reeds, tensioning device, swift and ballwinder if your yarn comes in skeins, fringe twister, temple;
• yarn balance, magnifier, tool tray, Ott light, auto reed hook or more harnesses.
