This Union Loom No. 36 by Union Loom Works, Boonville, New York, from the 1940s has been owned by Mom since the early 1960s. She acquired it from a friend whose father used it. Mom made rag rugs on the loom as a hobby.
The loom is in good condition, has 410 heddles, is threaded and ready to go, has a rug on it already woven which she will remove and keep when she finds a purchaser. She is willing to give explanation on how to thread the machine, how to use it.
Comes with:
- original instruction booklet
- 1 stick shuttle, 28" long
- 5 regular shuttles
- 1 carpet stretcher (to keep the carpet an even width as you are weaving with the machine).
- extra warp, but not enough to re-thread the machine
- approximately 200 pounds of boxes of "rags that are ready for ripping and to be sewn together". These are sheets, bed spreads and clothes, washed and folded, all seams removed.
