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 the Ellison Sheep Farm. 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. The Julia Loom is available in Clear or Red .
