Wanted: 8-shaft floor loom, London

on February 26, 2026

Hello,

I’m a recent textiles graduate and London UK-based weaver currently looking for a loom. I have a small studio space ready and had arranged to buy one, but sadly the sale fell through at the last minute.

I’m ideally hoping to find an 8-shaft floor loom, particularly a Schacht loom, and something relatively compact. In terms of size, a 36” weaving width would be wonderful, though I’d also be very happy with a 26” loom. I’m especially drawn to a Mighty Wolf or Baby Wolf floor loom, though I’m very open to other suitable options.

I’ve previously worked with Ashford, Leclerc and Schacht looms and am very comfortable with setup, maintenance and care.

I’m at the early stage of building my practice, so my budget is unfortunately limited, but the loom would be used with great care and real intention. If anyone knows of a loom looking for a new home, I would be incredibly grateful to hear from you.

Thank you so much for reading,

Alia
