AVL Mechanical Dobby Loom
$2000

36”, 12-shaft, mechanical dobby loom with Texsolv heddles. Actual loom width is 44”.

This loom is an early AVL loom– 00193–and has some different features. This loom doesn’t have a breast beam or back beam, the warp flows directly from the warp beam through the heddles and beater to the cloth beam. The warp and the woven cloth wind directly on to the cloth and warp beams, held in place with a stick fitted into a slot in the beam (see photo below). This means there is very little warp waste. The loom also has an automatic warp tension system, and the loom may be folded while threaded. For more information, the Arhens Looms website at https://ahrenslooms.com has a great deal of technical information about this loom.

The price includes the loom, a bench, dobby bars and pegs, lease sticks, a raddle, apron cloths, one 10-dent reed and a complete instruction manual.
