Louët Looms - Back to floor looms
| European styling characterizes the compact and sturdy looms made in Holland by Louët. The David has a unique sinking shed jack system that produces a generous shed with remarkably light treadling. Their Spring loom is a parallel countermarch loom that can have up to 12 harnesses and 14 treadles. Louët's Delta loom is also a parallel countermarch loom, similar to the Spring, but a bit more substantial for heavier weaving. Both the Spring and the Delta have Louët's patented floating breast beam for constant warp tension. | |

Spring 90cm - 36" 8 shaft Loom ... $3650 Spring 110cm - 44" 8 shaft Loom ... $3700 The Louët "Spring" loom is one of the most innovative and 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. Another exclusive feature to this loom it the patented moving breastbeam controled 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 breastbeam 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 Spring comes standard with 8 harnesses and 10 treadles, but gives the possibility to expand it, by sets of 4 harnesses and 4 treadles. The heddles and tie-up cords are of the Swedish Texsolv system that make them quiet, strong and non-stretching. The spring has two weaving widths 90 cm (36") and 110 cm (44"). It comes standard with four harnesses, six treadles, 600 Texsolv heddles (Spring 90) and 800 Texsolv heddles (Spring 110), stanless 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 finish. Also available in 12 shaft models. Call for pricing.
