It was my grandfathers mothers loom. The Etsy link is what it looks like. I google swedish loom and I don’t get much on set up. It is somewhat set up already but not properly according to the link pic, and one string is broken. I would love to try and fix it up to be used!!!! Any info you can find would be awesome!!!!

If needed, I can try and upload a pic of the one I have.

Totally of no help about how to set it up. But, dude, that is rad. I was already excited when you mentioned a loom. And it’s even more cool because it’s a family heirloom!

You have to keep us updated with what you make on it!

I did just a quick look, so I’m not sure if these will work for you. There are lots more though.

What you turn up depends on the wording you use to search. I usually start with basic terms, not many words, then try again using more specific terms.
