Tapestry Loom

Myra R, current member and Media, West Chester and Beyond SIG Leader has the PGHW tapestry loom from the Bicentennial on which a 9 foot x 12 foot x 1/2 thick tapestry of William Penn paying for Pennsylvania by giving the Native Americans some beads that was woven by many of the PGHW weavers. The tapestry had been hanging in Philadelphia but is now lost we do not know where it is.

Myra completed weaving a tapestry for a church that was housing the loom for a group of PGHW weavers who were weaving a tapestry for the church on Ardmore Ave and Darby Rd in Ardmore, PA. I got a 16 foot truck and moved it to our first house and then to our 2nd house in Media, PA. From the start I have had weavers come and weave with me on all my looms I do not charge for lessons and I do not pay for work done.

I still have warp on the loom but by the time i am done weaving what is left on the loom I will most probably be ready to give the loom to another weaver. I suggest they come weave with me to get familiar with the loom and its size and its capabilities.

it is 14 foot wide by a foot thick in middle but has buttress wings at both ends that stick out at least 2 feet either side, it is about 6 foot tall and is tightened by 2 big bolts that loosen and tighten by inserting a screwdriver into the nut and turning – it is easy to do. warping the 9 by 12 foot weaving area might take 8 or more hours but smaller sections of the loom can be warped for many smaller projects. It has 2 long beams for making the cross to keep it separated.

Located in Media, PA.
