>I've just uploaded a photograph of the warp-weighted loom that I
>mentioned on this list last week. The loom is 6' tall (2 meters,
>roughly) and 3' wide (1 meter, roughly). It's a replica of a Viking
>loom and was used in the Viking Millenniuim exhibit that toured the
>US around the year 2000. The loom currently resides in storage in
>Forestville, Maryland, outside of DC. It is free--you either have to
>pick it up or have it shipped. It is already crated. The crate
>measures 82"x70"x35". As you can see from the photo, the loom is
>beautifully made of pale-colored wood and has a warp currently on
>it. It comes complete with the weights, shed sticks,
>etc. Everything you see in the photo.
>
>Please rescue this loom! They will burn it for firewood if some
>weaver or historian doesn't claim it. C'mon, all you loom
>enthusiasts and historic re-creation folks--someone must want this loom.

>For more info, contact Deborah Wood at <Deborah_Wood at sec.senate.gov>.

>If anyone on the list is in touch with the Norweigian museum in
>Decorah, Iowa, please let them know about this loom. It seems to me
>that they'd be a natural for it.
