The
Cranbrook Countermarche Loom
CALL US FOR YOUR BEST DEAL!
The Cranbrook Loom
is widely considered to be the finest Countermarche loom
available today. This Scandinavian-style loom has mortise-and-tenon
construction, powder coated breast and rear beams, treadle
locks, and a fully adjustable overhead beater.
A countermarche loom is a balanced system of rising and
sinking shafts. There are two sets of lamms, an upper
suspended lamm and a lower pivoting lamm. Each shaft works
independently, its operation not affecting that
of the other shafts. The tie-up system of the Cranbrook
employs a special size Texsolv nylon loop cord that remains
permanently installed on the treadles and may be tied to
either the upper or lower lamm.
The front, rear,
and knee beams of powder-coated tubular steel give the loom
added rigidity while affording better protection for the warp.
The solid octagonal warp and cloth beams are 16 1/2" in
circumference. The Cranbrook can be expanded from four to six
or eight shafts at any time. The locking treadles are
especially helpful for rug and tapestry weaving. Solid bronze
ratchet gears, pawls, and beater hanger racks are featured on
all Cranbrook Looms. The warp beam ratchet gear is released by
a foot pedal.
The Cranbrook
loom is available in 48", 60", and 72" weaving
widths. Accessories include: 12-treadle option, a second warp
beam, sectional warp beam, tool tray, worm gear, sliding
threading bench, beater weight, and tension box rail, and
raddle.
Custom parts may
be ordered for any Cranbrook loom ever made.
