Kyra loom #weaving
harrietbu1949@...
I just bought a 12 shaft, 48", 14 treadle Kyra floor loom.
It came in pieces. I would appreciate any detailed photographs of kyra looms. Is there such a thing as a manual? Thanks in advance Harriet Burris

I didn't know he made a 12 shaft loom.
Kyra is the name of his daughter.
His cherry 8 shaft was my first loom - I have since sold it to a student. I have one of his table looms with attached folding legs. I would love to have one of his "suitcase" table looms - a table loom that folds into a small, portable, suitcase-like box. I first saw his loom at a weaving store in Dublin Ohio. When I had the money I called and ordered a 48" 8H cherry loom (all his looms are cherry). He delivered it personally from NY to Hilliard OH. It was designed to fit through a standard door - just barely. No assembly required. It was pegged and glued and designed to fold up to fit through a door. I don't remember getting a manual. This was around 1978 .... As I have gotten older, treadling the loom became an issue. The harnesses are very heavy. Lifting 4 or more at a time became an issue. That's why I sold it to someone with better legs/hips than mine. Part of me still wishes I had the loom since it was my first ....
