Margaret Bergman

Career

During the 1930s, Bergman designed and patented two looms: the Bergman Suitcase loom and the Bergman Floor loom. Each loom was designed with unique folding frames that enabled the loom to collapse even when fully warped. Later, a section of a barn on the property was converted to a store called the Yarn Barn where yarn could be purchased.

Achievements
