I'm pretty sure this is the model of loom that my mom used when i was growing up. I have many lovely memories of gently stroking all the different taut wires and strings, listening to the bump and thrum of it at work, and me lying under my mom's chair as she worked at. Thank you for bringing back warm childhood memories!!
16 harness is wild!!! The endless possibilities… I’d really recommend looking into multilayer weaving! With the right thinking you can extend the width of your loom 4-fold!
Wow, everything about this is so fantastic! The dish towels turned out amazing, and you did a really great job with the huge task of getting the loom up and running!
I absolutely enjoy your channel! Watching your engineering mind decipher vintage knitting patterns and now restoring a loom is why I tune in. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. And, Nutella is such a good assistant 🙂
16 harnesses? You can make magic!!! 40 inches? You can make massive blankets! Double weave you can make something 80 inches wide. That is a looooot!!! 😊 I have a 36 inch loom and love it to death but already (a year in) want one that is wider already. For bigger Things!!
I have a 48” 8 harness Macomber manufactured in 1962. A neat thing about the MACOMBER’s is if you lift the black side braces of the breast beam, you can drop them to the floor to access the front/ back beam and sley the reed or thread the heddles. I drop mine and sit on a stool right in the loom. It’s so much more comfortable than leaning over the breast beam/
Spin the yarn to weave the cloth to make the clothes- I know that’s how clothing was made until the Industrial Revolution but it’s still amazing to consider. I can’t wait to see all of your projects!
17:43 this is the most incredible thing in my mind because everything in your design relies on you doing this part correctly and I can't fathom the patience that it would take to string each and every single one of those and it's just so amazing to me. This is so incredible and I love that you're sharing it with us!
“Mistakes” no, personal learning curve yes ❤ I find it mesmerising to watch a loom working, and seeing beautiful fabrics be woven. Unfortunately I don’t have room for a loom🙃🤶🏻
Love the nod to the originating decade. Little information or not, l always appreciate your capacity to think through and understand the workings to be able to put it back into pristine working order. Your passion to embrace the slow production techniques of the past is so inspiring.
Oh my!! What a beautiful loom! I just bought my own used loom in need of a tune up--a 45" Leclerc Tissart, which is the high warp tapestry loom they sold in the 70s/80s. I'm so excited to weave on it, and so excited to see what you make on your beautiful Macomber!
I have the 4 shaft version of that same loom. The tie up hooks are a pain. And mine kept popping off while I was weaving! We replaced them with Texsolv ties. I can get photos of it if you’d like!
More weaving content!!! I wish there were more weaving video's/vlogs like this out there, I love the inspiration they give me. I got a Leclerc Nilus II (from 1978 if I recall correctly) this past summer, and somehow we managed to fit the whole thing into my dad's tiny car! It was just a giant bundle of sticks at that point. Thankfully the previous owner still had the original instruction booklet, and Leclerc's manuals are also available online... I still have my 'let's see if it works'-warp on it, although I have a woolen warp ready to go for some historical weaving! Oh and a tip, if you don't want to buy a super expensive weaving bench; I found a second hand piano bench for €8, height adjustable, that at it's highest setting is the right height for my loom! Weaving is so much more pleasant if your knees aren't at armpit height :P
Love your weaving, and love that it is an old pattern. I love the look of weaving, but with my knitting machines, sewing machines and all my other yarn crafts, just have no room for a loom as well. I do have a rare knitting machine loom that I still need to try.
I love the diamond twill. I have aspirations to make a 3-piece suite out of a diamond twill fabric one day. Good job at getting the loom together and functional. That is a great spot for it with the natural light. I look forward to seeing what you will create with it.
Oh my I also got my loom so I could try to copy the Viking finds that I also cannot pronounce. I am a year into learning to weave and this fall added a spinning wheel to my collection so now I can do the whole process beginning to end. At some point. ❤❤❤❤❤
so nice. my mom suggested weaving when i mentioned I was considering picking up a smaller craft hobby to take a break from knitting/crochet. I asked her where I was gonna put it since the only version I have space for are those child things XD I settled on needle pointing instead
You could do tablet weaving. That doesn't take much space and you can do very intricate patterns However, it's best for narrow pieces like a belt or a fun trim.
I don't know if you aware of this or not but nicotine is absorbed through the skin. I learned this from a friend who was a smoker who had to work on the flight line repairing fuel tanks. They would put snuff between their toes to get the nicotine their bodies were use to. I would suggest you wear gloves when cleaning something that smells of cigarette smoke.
It made me so exited to see you go through this proses and weave those beautiful dish towels. I've always been fascinated by weaving and weaving looms.
Oh, good job cleaning that loom (when you brought out the toothbrush I smiled) and sussing out what was needed to get the loom to work. Noticed the Macomber came with a sectional back beam, too. All kinds of doors open with that big bit. Am sure you already know this, but the folks of the Warped Weavers group on Ravelry will for sure be able to advise with anything that comes up. Lots of them work on looms of all ages and types, including ones with dobby functions and draw looms. The resulting first project reflects the colors of the mountains out your windows, in addition to its Viking-era pattern draft. How neat is that. Thank you for taking us on the first voyage of Macomber. Will it be christened Oseberg II, or something else?
I'm envious of all your large vintage machines but I am not envious of the amount of space your large vintage machines probably take up in your apartment 😅 Are you going to have to set up a workshop at some point?
I have a schacht baby wolf and I have no issue with crossing my legs over. Because there’s a bar in front in vintage versions and dobby looms. That beam on the bottom makes that cross over difficult. To correct myself the bottom beam/frame is further away from the treadles compared to this one
Getting a huge and majestic loom like that seems just logic Especially after the start of your kntting machine projects There is just so ething about looms that makes me happy So I'm very excited for this video 😊 Hope you're doing well
Lovely loom. Endless possibilities for weaving patterns. In one way I'm slightly envious and in another I'm glad I dont have to try and warp it. It would take me forever. I think warping is one of the things that takes the longest to do. I'll stick to my 16" rigid heddle loom. Max I can do is a 4 shaft pattern (like the diamond twill). 2 heddles, 1 heddle rod and a pick up stick. I mostly stick to plain weave with variegated yarns. It's easier for me health wise. Want to warp my loom now. but must wait till i've finished my 2 hats, 1 pair of mitts (crochet) and some bowl cosies. So after christmas lol.
Parents' basement. Aha...I was wondering where on earth you had room to put that beast in your apartment! 🤣 Loving your work. That was quite the project!
I am really enjoying the weaving process and machines , you are lucky to have found this , and look forward to seeing you enjoy it !! The Tea towels are so pretty !! Thank You for another great video 📸 !! ❤ It !!
Oh how I'd love to see her work with an Atari attached How cool is that What a beautiful match between you and the loom Also I'm glad I learned that there are brakes on looms and you werent referring to breaks 😅
So cool! I know you have already done a class but I strongly recommend Jane Stafford's "School of Weaving" lessons and site. (I have no affiliation; it's just great.)
This is so amazing! Great work, and so much of it! I am in awe of this more intricate weaving, I only ever dabbled in rigid heddle and ribbon weaving and this seems like a ton of technique on top to learn... The final fabric is so pretty! My best to Nutella :)
Is your apartment just paket to the brim knitting, sewing and weaving equipment? Might sound silly but would love an apartment to see where you keep it all
20:19 huh, the lower one is basically coutil Didn't know Vikings had coutil Not too surprising, if you can make twill you can make coutil, but still, I wouldn't associate coutil with vikings
watching this, I have saw others so maybe reach out to Mary Kate Alsvig, I know she has one similar and moved house and unboxed it with instructions. maybe contact her. or try. Bella Nunn, hope helps
lol the holes on the harness lining up with the pedals below being absolutely ignored😝 are we sure they dont go in those holes?? instead of just awkwardly slid onto the metal part? i am SO envious of your fibre arts, and always dreamed of weaving!!! im not capable physically for any of that anymore, so it's lovely seeing you explore things I'm interested in😊

I so admire your patience and ability to reassemble vintage gizmos.

Totally agree - Jennifer Moore's book 'Doubleweave Revised and Expanded' is really good.

WOW…. I LOVE your loom!!! I’ve been wanting one for years, but I don’t have enough space for one. Now I can live vicariously through you!

I never tire watching and learning! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@@IISheireenII Thanks for the tip but I am gonna stick with the 6 hobbies I have XD could always do a course if something interest me though
I just wanted to say how amazing you are with your knowledge and ability in your crafting. I love watching your TH-cam videos
You did a great job assembling it without instructions. Congrats on the new (to you) loom.
What a journey with this machine! Super interesting to watch, and the resulting fabric is really gorgeous.
What a beautiful loom!

Weaving just seems magical. I’m a bit jealous but totally delighted for you that you have this skill and loom! Thank you for sharing it with us!!!

Beautiful and so satisfying to watch!
the fact that this can be attached to an atari... crazy!
Congrats on a beautiful loom. To help with the selvedge, practice changing the shed while the beater is still at the fell line. Good job 👍
I'm envious of all your large vintage machines but I am not envious of the amount of space your large vintage machines probably take up in your apartment 😅 Are you going to have to set up a workshop at some point?
Oh they are lovely!! Well done. I believe you could master any craft if it appeals to your curiosity and creativity. Most impressive.
I have a schacht baby wolf and I have no issue with crossing my legs over. Because there’s a bar in front in vintage versions and dobby looms. That beam on the bottom makes that cross over difficult. To correct myself the bottom beam/frame is further away from the treadles compared to this one
Incredible!!!
I’ve got a Gilmore Jack-front from about the same time. It was taking up space in a friends place…she just gave it to me. ❤️🌈🌈🦋🦋
Getting a huge and majestic loom like that seems just logic
Especially after the start of your kntting machine projects
There is just so ething about looms that makes me happy
So I'm very excited for this video 😊
Hope you're doing well
Omg yes
This js my jam
I love a good restauration and repair
Also love your matching looks, very cute
So pretty, it's like use able art.❤

Nutella is so cute ❤❤❤
Beautiful towels. Beautiful loom. I have a 32” rigid heddle and spindles. I’ll be making clothes from the very beginning of the process soon!
Ooo I'm excited for some full spin to clothing vids done on this loom 😁
Wonderful video! I wonder if there's more coming from the loom?
I am really enjoying the weaving process and machines , you are lucky to have found this , and look forward to seeing you enjoy it !! The Tea towels are so pretty !! Thank You for another great video 📸 !! ❤ It !!
Last year, I paid +/- $80 a meter for some wool diamond twill for a reproduction Kostrup Viking age apron dress. I’m now thinking I got a steal!
This is absolutely beautiful work, I’d love to learn to weave on a loom like this is .
Oh how I'd love to see her work with an Atari attached
How cool is that
What a beautiful match between you and the loom
Also I'm glad I learned that there are brakes on looms and you werent referring to breaks 😅
So-- Coooool!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
So cool! I know you have already done a class but I strongly recommend Jane Stafford's "School of Weaving" lessons and site. (I have no affiliation; it's just great.)
Lovely!
this looks pretty cool. is it possible to do something like carpet on this?
This is so amazing! Great work, and so much of it!
I am in awe of this more intricate weaving, I only ever dabbled in rigid heddle and ribbon weaving and this seems like a ton of technique on top to learn...
The final fabric is so pretty!
My best to Nutella :)
Is your apartment just paket to the brim knitting, sewing and weaving equipment? Might sound silly but would love an apartment to see where you keep it all
WOW..just WOW...
wow wow wow
May I ask where you got those cool period sconces? Thanks!
20:19 huh, the lower one is basically coutil
Didn't know Vikings had coutil
Not too surprising, if you can make twill you can make coutil, but still, I wouldn't associate coutil with vikings
May I ask how tall you are? Is height something one needs to consider when getting a floor loom? PS I love your videos! You have sooo much talent! 🤩
watching this, I have saw others so maybe reach out to Mary Kate Alsvig, I know she has one similar and moved house and unboxed it with instructions. maybe contact her. or try. Bella Nunn, hope helps
lol the holes on the harness lining up with the pedals below being absolutely ignored😝 are we sure they dont go in those holes?? instead of just awkwardly slid onto the metal part?
i am SO envious of your fibre arts, and always dreamed of weaving!!! im not capable physically for any of that anymore, so it's lovely seeing you explore things I'm interested in😊
Beam this warp... Star Trek...
