Louet Spring
90- 36" 8 Harness Floor Loom The
Louet “Spring” weaving loom is one of the most
innovative cleverly designed floor looms on the market
today. It uses the Parallel countermarch system for the
harnesses and lams, which is easy to use and simple to
tie-up.
An exclusive feature to this loom is the patented moving
breast beam controlled by springs. The breast beam is
attached to the loom in such a way that it is free to move
toward the harnesses when the shed is made and then back
toward the weaver when the shed is closed again. The
distance between the breast beam and the back
beam actually changes during weaving. With this system a
larger shed can be obtained with less tension increase in
the warp and less effort from the weaver.
The advantages of this system are
especially evident as you near the end of the warp. Even
when the end of the warp is very close to the harnesses, a
good shed can be made, thus saving yards and yards of wasted
warp over the life of your loom.
The moving breast beam also brings on exactly the same warp
tension each time the warp is advanced. The design of the
loom includes a built-in raddle on top of the castle and a
storage shelf for keeping everything you need within easy
reach. The
Louet Spring floor loom comes standard with 8 harnesses and
10 treadles, but gives the possibility to expand, by sets of
4 harnesses, to a maximum of 12 harnesses. The
heddles and tie-up cords are of the Swedish Texsolv system
that make them quite strong and non-stretching. The Louet
Spring has two weaving widths 90
cm (36”) and 110 cm (44”). (See below). It
comes standard with four
harnesses, six treadles, 600 Texsolv heddles (Spring 90) and
800 Texsolv heddles (Spring 110), stainless steel reed 40-10
(10 e.p.i.) 12 cm (5”) inside height, friction brake, 2
lease sticks and 16 warp sticks. The “Spring”
is made of lacquered beech
and comes ready-to-assemble with clear instructions and
tools.

Louet Delta 110 44"
Floor Loom
The Delta's treadles are hinged from the back allowing for a
very light weight treadling action.
The Louet Delta floor loom is easily recognizable as the
head of the Louet line of Floor looms. Comfortable, robust
and technologically advanced, but above all a weaver's loom.
Warp tension can be adjusted by fine increments to insure
the tension is just the way you want it. The floating breast
beam insures tension is returned to exactly the same tension
as you had before you advanced the cloth.
Tie
ups are easy. Every treadle is tied to every harness which
means you only have to depress one treadle at a time. All
treadles work the same way across the full width of the loom
because of the parallel system. Also, all lams are
horizontal which makes changing tie-ups quick and easy. For
individual comfort, blocks are available to adjust treadle
height. Harnesses are adjustable to allow you to create
slack in the heddles for easier threading and tighten them
for weaving. The brake system on the
Louet loom is a friction brake system on the warp beam,
which is sturdy and easy to operate. A convenient advancing
system is provided on the cloth beam. The
louet Delta floor loom is made of plantation grown ash
and is finished with a double coat of clear semi-gloss
lacquer.

Shipping information:
We have found that most customers find the castle section of
Louet looms difficult to assemble correctly. That is why the
Delta is delivered partially pre-assembled. The difficult
castle section is one unit with the remaining warp beams,
treadles, cloth guard, cloth beam, etc. coming in several
separate boxes. Assembly of these pieces is required.
