LOOM RESTORATION

Despite 25 years in the rafters of a farm shed, this loom was in good condition, save for a family of mice and an abandoned wasp nest. It had made comfortable accommodation for the mouse family, nesting deep amongst the heddles, which are easily replaced, but without any of the original bolts, this was a difficult mission.
