Cones and cones of weaving yarns and looms for sale!
Ralf Hartwell, our tartan speaker, is selling his many cones of weaving yarns. Mostly wools, all colors imaginable, some cottons, cotton/linen, linen, and a couple of silk. He is selling these for $1/cone! Some cones have many pounds on them, very small cones will be added for no cost if you buy a good amount from him. There is one catch, no returns, no guarantees. Some are older, some are newer but this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase some fibers at an unbelievably reasonable cost while helping another weaver find homes for his yarns.
Ralf is also selling 2 looms. A 36″ 4 shaft floor loom he had made for him. This uses spools for warp and he is most happy to explain the use of them. I believe there is also a bench. This loom is selling for $300. The other loom is an 18″, believe it was 4 shaft though it may have been 8 shaft, Mountain table loom with a stand, bench, and double back beam. This loom is also selling for $300. Again, unbelievably reasonable prices for weaving equipment. For lots more information about the fibers or looms, it would be best to contact Ralf but please email me first and I will provide you with his email offsite.

Thanks Margaret!
I’ll bet you had a good time visiting his studio.
Hopefully, his Macomber lives at your house now.
Good deal on those other two looms.
Oh- Ralf has some very nice fiber!
If anyone needs to stock up, this would be the place.
Ralf has sold his 36″ 4 shaft floor loom!
Sounds like a wonderful opportunity! And he’s just one town away…how can I contact him (not for HNE: this one is for me personally).

Looms have been sold. Would suggest contacting Ralf to see what kinds of fibers he has left as some great purchases have already been made by a few NOBO members.
