This loom came with a couple of boxes of supplies…
Today I brought in the supplies that came with the loom. Noticing signs of mice when I first picked them up I unloaded the boxes and cleaned them outdoors, transferring the good contents to a new box. Some unprotected spools were too far damaged to be of any use now…
Other spools were slightly damaged…
…and could be salvaged once the damaged thread had been removed…
The boat shuttle had been broken but was repaired, but poorly so. I removed the bobbed glue and sanded it…
…then I finished it with boiled linseed oil…
I also sanded and treated all shuttles – boat shuttle (bottom right), rag shuttle (centre left), and stick shuttles (top)…
I also had to clean up the warp hook which was slightly corroded…
…and then I placed them all in a shallow storage container – thread, bobbins, bobbin winder, shuttles, rags, and warp chains…
