I am a beginning spinner and have been working with a rigid heddle loom and am ready to move on to a fairly large sized floor loom in good working condition. Would prefer a counterbalance with a minimum of 4 Harness, 6 Treadles, with bench and anything else you can throw in. I can promise your loom a good home and regular use. Needs to be within driving distance of SW Colorado, or willing to ship. I don't have allot to spend (about $800 tops), but I've been wanting to weave ever since I took a 'backstrap loom class' when I was pregnant with my first daughter. She is now 28 and I'm just getting started. I thought it would be good therapy in my recovery from an abusive husband. So, if anyone can help me out in my journey I sure would be grateful.
Blessings,
Teri

I wanted to let everyone know that I found my loom, with a bench and lots and lots of extra's thrown in...It's a deal too good to pass up. It's living in Arizona right now but will soon be in Colorado...not far away at all so no shipping because they are coming to my neck of the woods soon for a shoot meet. God is awesome!!!
Blessings to All,
Teri

Thank you KarenP & Michele,
I am very excited and my husband is closing in the front porch so I'll have a "room with a loom".. :) Anyways,, it's a 4 harness, 8 treadle, counterbalance LeClerc Mira with a 1" section beam. There is a shed regulator and 1000 all new texsolv heddles and new texsolv treadle cords and pins. There's three books that came with it and a bench. Included are the apron that was taken off the back beam to put on the sectional warp, a tension box, spool rack, 3 reeds, lease sticks and warp sticks. She's also going through her stuff that she hasn't used in years to set aside for me at no extra charge, including some other books.... All this for $700. I've seen pics of it that she sent me... it's a beautiful aged Maple and in excellent shape. I am such a lucky girl... She is getting a 'new to her' Sweedish loom and won't need this one anymore... Anyways.. the it's the best deal that's been offered and a bloody fine one at that... :)
Thanks for the congrads, I am terribly excited!!!
Blessings,
Teri
