This is the beautifully crafted Glimåkra Standard - Countermarch loom. Made from natural and sustainably sourced materials in Sweden. These wonderful looms have been around for many years, and will take full pride of place in any weaver's studio.
In this countermarch loom, tie-up the shafts are raised or lowered independently of each other as compared to the counterbalance tie-up, where the shafts are balanced against each other.
Since the shafts may be raised and lowered independently, the shed will be even and better – this is an advantage in any weaving. This is more significant in multi-shaft weaving, when using delicate material or uneven number of shafts or a narrow warp in a wide loom or with uneven distribution of warp threads in the shafts.
Two types of Countermarches are available, one with two sets of horizontal jacks and the other with one set of vertical jacks.
This loom is not supplied with heddles and tie up kit.
There are four widths available for this loom (100cm, 120cm, 150cm and 160cm), so be sure to select your desired width when ordering the loom with us.
Heddles and tie up kit included with the loom.
