                                                    The Model 22/4 weaves a full 22" and comes with
                                                     4 harnesses and 6 treadles.  It can be folded with the
                                                     warp in place without disengaging the tie-up.  It is 
                                                     made with the finest rock maple and has an 
                                                     adjustable  beater to accommodate reeds of different
                                                     lengths and widths.  The rear friction brake allows
                                                     for infinite tension control.  The Model 22/4 was
                                                     designed and crafted keeping durability,  economy,
                                                     and  portability in mind.  

                                                     One of the most popular workshop looms on the
                                                     market.   The floating parallel lamms and unique
                                                     tie-up system using "snap chains" make it a 
                                                     breeze to set-up. 
                                                     The suspended harnesses allow for a smoother,
                                                     quieter, action and won't break fine warp threads
                                                     as easily as stationary harnesses can.  $1196.
                                           Model 22/8  Available in 8 Harness   $1905.

    **********************************************         
        Harrisville Designs Philosophy .... At Harrisille Designs, they believe that handweaving requires equipment that meets the highest standard of both quality and function.  Since building their first loom in 1972, Harrisville Designs philosphy 
has always been that function, quality, and economy, are equal elements to
sound design.

Harrisville Designs is a small, family- owned and operated business nestled in the Monadnock Highlands of southwestern New Hampshire and is the only industrial community of the early 19th century, in America, that still survives in it's original form. In 1977, the Department of Interior designated Harrisville a National
Historic  Landmark.
