#oxaback loom

[ghostweaver]

Back on a countermarsh loom! I'm so excited to see how these towels turn out! It's been a hot minute since I've used a floor loom, let alone one this big. It takes up a whole room! So much bigger than the inkle loom I've been using for the past year.

I'm so happy with how the hem-stitching came out (though I'm a bit nervous because the threads snapped right after I tied the final knot, so fingers crossed 🤞) and I can't wait to see how the rest develops!

The single unit attachment finally arrived last week.  I placed the order at the end of last year/beginning of this year.  It was made for the Oxaback loom and was shipped from Sweden.

Below is the packaging with the exception of a USPS large flat rate box full of hardware.

The device itself is quite simple, everything attached easily and only required drilling a few holes into the main loom.

Below is the back beam extension.  The single unit device requires less space than the harness version.  I particularly like the height adjustment for the warp beam.

This is one of a pair of the side support pieces, it supports the pattern draw shafts, the back reed and the top support beam.

Below shows how this is installed.

Below are the shaft support hangers.

Below is the support for the extra weighted cords.  In this photo I have the part installed upside down, the metal rod should sit a little higher so the cords do no abrade with the countermarch cords.

The front assembly in place.

The rear of the loom awaiting the pattern heddles to be transferred onto the four pattern shafts.
