I've a LeClerc Minerva jack floor loom for sale, 8 harness, 10 treadle. Has a 20" 12 dent reed. Loom at castle is 39 inches high, 29" at the widest part (not including detachable back beam turn handle) and folds to 22 inches. Fully extended, loom is 34 inches front(breast)beam to back beam, inclusive.
Buyer picks loom up in New York City. $600.00 cash takes it, and the two books, "A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns" from the Friends of Handwoven, edited by Carol Strickler, $36.95 c. 1991, and Pierre Ryall's "Weaving Techniques for the Multiple Harness Loom, $9.95 (1979).
The space now occupied by the LeClerc will be used for my 4- harness Kessenich, which better suits the type of weaving I want to do for the near future.
