Louet Spring 90- 35" 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
floating
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. With this system a
larger shed can be
obtained with less
tension increase in
the warp and less effort from the weaver.
The moving breast
beam also brings on exactly the
same warp tension each time
the warp is advanced.
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 design of the
loom includes a built-in raddle on top of the castle
(super easy to use, keeps your warp in line) 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.
It comes standard with eight harnesses, ten treadles, 600 Texsolv heddles (Spring 90) and 800 Texsolv heddles (Spring 110), stainless steel 10 dent reed, friction brake, 2 lease sticks and 16 warp sticks. The “Spring” is made of lacquered beech and comes ready-to-assemble (partly assembled) with clear instructions and tools.

Louet Delta 110-43" 8 & 12 Harness
Louet Delta 110 43" Floor Loom Available in 8 or 12 Harness, Back hinged treadles.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. Comfor
table,
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.
Some of the Louet Delta's features are: Modern parallel countermarch loom, "floating breast beam", large 4 inch shed obtained even with difficult yarns like linen, all harnesses are positively activated by the treadle, swedish texsolv heddles are used with the Delta, built in shelf, built in raddle, standard 8 shafts, 10 dpi reed, expandable to 12 shafts, a cloth guard is built into the breast beam, rear hinged treadles allow for very light operation.
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.
Louet Octado Dobby Loom

The
Louet Octado is another great dobby weaving loom from Louet.
The 8 Harness Octado has only one treadle and works with a
dobby mechanism (you will have to purchase this separately),
so even complicated pattern weaving is easy!
A dobby mechanism (programmable shaft selector) is an alternative for the tie-ups to the treadles on a standard hand weaving loom..
With a dobby loom, you can say good-bye to the tie-ups! The new Octado loom has a similar operating method as the familiar Megado. This means a big countermarch weaving shed, and a very light treadling action. Again, easy on the weaver. A floating breast beam allows for exactly the same warp tension all the time. A built-in raddle makes warping super easy! The Louet Octado can be operated with a mechanical dobby, or with an electronic interface. (Your choice!) The electronic interface works with most popular computer weaving software, including Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, PixieLoom, Weavemaker, Proweave and Weave It. Choose from 70 cm, 90 cm and 110 cm weaving width (28", 36” and 44”) The middle section of the Octado loom (where all the shafts are) comes completely assembled. A detailed instruction manual will help you to complete the assembly without any problems.
Louet Dobby USB Files Please note that the interface works with either the serial port or the USB port.
The interface has a built-in serial to USB converter. To use the Interface through the USB port, first install the USB driver.
