Murphy Loom being
rehabilitated 09/10
She'll be ready for a new
home soon. This is the
reason for a 3-car garage!

I also take in old and neglected weaving looms, and give them the
care and love they deserve. I get a lot of joy from bringing them
back into useful service.
If you have an 'olde dame' looking for a home, please contact me.
Because my 'studio' currently has 5 floor looms, I generally rotate
them in and out as I'm working on them and so usually have one
or two ready to go to a new home. Let's talk.
