		Glimakra Looms and Accessories

	Glimakra looms from Sweden recently have been added to the brands that Ellison Sheep Farm can carry. Joann Hall from Montana, who is the US distributor for Glimakra, taught a workshop at Ellison Sheep Farm in September. She and her husband Ed, set up two prototypes of the new Juilia loom for students to weave on. The Julia is a new floor loom that is less expensive than many table looms. Clear Julia looms will be available in November. Red Julia looms will be available in April.
