This is a Structo Artcraft Loom I bought tonight on Craigslist for $50.
I've heard about these and now I have one. Now I have to find out how to weave on it.
It has the number 600-15660 written on it.
Another adventure.
I think I am missing handles for the beams. It's about 20 inch wide inside the harnesses.

Have a good day!
Hi Franco! I've got one of these looms, too. I got mine free from my aunt, but my friend paid 150$ for one just like it. You got a good deal! Mine is missing one of the crank handles, but it doesn't impede the use too much. I've made table runners rag style on mine, it is ok, but I like mine a little tighter, so I am going to be trying out things like scarves next to see if I like that better! Have fun ~
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm told today that without the crank handles a person just grabs the beam with the hand and turns it. Use vise grip plier if needed. So I'll not worry about handle.
ReplyDeleteI need some info on what kind of shuttles are good to use.
Have a good day!
Wow! What a great deal
ReplyDeleteFranco: you can use stick shuttles or small boat shuttles with bobbins. It will just depend upon how big the shed is when you lift the harnesses.
ReplyDeleteHave fun. Karen D
