Louet Kombo 70 for sale. Weaves up to 27 inches wide. Two reeds, 8 and 10 dent, built in raddle, 8 shafts, 10 treadles and loads of Texsolv heddles and original set up manual. Simple to use jack tieup and hanging beater. It weaves beautifully due to the extra length between front and back beams. It can be used as a table loom or a floor loom and I've used it as a workshop loom many times. It's had just two owners and it's in very good shape. I find myself with too many looms or I would keep it. $500 Email cabincrk@mac.com.

For Sale: 2 Alpacas and/or fleeces. Jessica says "I want to find someone to buy two alpacas and/or their fleeces. We have three males and I need to sell two of them. We have their first sheered fleece and one of the followings for each of them, unprocessed. The dark one and the one in the middle are the ones. They were raised up together so it would be best if they stayed together. They are 4-6 yrs. old males, registered and will be sheered again at the end of April. Contact me at darlindrafts02@yahoo.com."
