Made in Sweden of Swedish pine, the full-sized Glimakra Standard loom is extremely versatile and can be adapted and expanded as your interests in weaving grow and change. Like other countermarch and counterbalance looms, it allows a large shed even on a high-tensioned warp. The warp and cloth beams both have heavy metal ratchet brakes for weaving with high tension. Because the harnesses have open ends, heddles can be added at any time, even during threading. The overhead beater has a light touch and can be removed completely for threading. The beater has three positions so it can be moved toward the back of the loom as weaving progresses. This allows you to weave as much as possible before getting up to go to the back of the loom to advance the warp. The Standard Glimakra comes in four widths: 39, 47, 59, and 63". It works equally well for lightweight fabric and heavy rugs. The loom comes in a variety of types to suit any weaver:

If you are interested in Glimakra’s DRAWLOOM SYSTEM, you should get the vertical countermarch system for your base loom with 4 to 6 harnesses.

The shaft drawloom system with loom extension comes with 10 pattern shafts, 200 weights, and drawcord (it can have up to 50 shafts). Long eye and pattern heddles are purchased separately. Extra pattern shafts can be ordered in units of 10 shafts.
