Leclerc Nilus II Loom

One of Leclerc's most popular looms, the Nilus II offers a wide variety of options. The Nilus II is available as a Jack type loom (with or without back hinged treadles), a counter balanced loom or a countermarch loom. The Nilus II loom is equipped with a regular plain beam to which a set of rake-like pieces can be added to convert it into a sectional warp beam. (Optional) All Leclerc Nilus II weaving looms has been designed with a stabilizer foot, for a better stability. The shed is always good with any combination of tie-up.  It is equipped with a friction brake giving a perfect tension every time. The front cloth beam ,front and back breast beams are removable for easy threading, and the warp beam is also removable for outside beaming when required. All Nilus II looms come complete with a steel reed (your choice of 6, 8, 10 or 12 dent), 1000 (1200, 1500) wire heddles, 1 boat shuttle, 12 plastic bobbins, one reed and heddle hook, two lease sticks, 2 warp rods, 2 beam sticks, 2 cords, 2 aprons, assembly instructions and assembly DVD and the book "Warp and Weave". Choose from three weaving width. FREE shipping in the lower 48 states and Canada.

Jack Type Loom On the Nilus II jack-type version, the top can be easily removed, allowing easy access to the shafts for the addition or removal of heddles. Heddles used are 12½" long. It is a loom with independent shafts, guided into slides at each end, preventing friction of shaft frames which are pushed upwards by an underneath mechanism.

Jack Type with back hinged treadles As with all Loom designs there are some tradeoffs. With the Jack Loom the problem most often cited was the difficulty in getting a good shed with 6+ Shaft weave construction. Our new design has overcome this problem. The new design features the Treadles anchored at the rear of the Loom, with a new unique, Rocker mechanism that insures even tension on all Treadle Cords with the Treadles in both the rest or depressed position. This new design provides the weaver with the ease of Leg Treadling multi Shaft designs, comparable to  that of a 4 shaft. Using a new procedure, the new Treadle design retains the folding feature designed into the original Nilus II. 

Counterbalanced Loom The counter-balanced version is built with an integrated shed regulator. So it is possible to weave any kind of material. Choose from 36" 45", 60" or 72" weaving width

Countermarch Loom  This countermarch system has one set of lams, two sets of pulleys above the shafts and one set of pulleys below. The lams raise the shaft connected by aLec Nilus Countermarch.jpg (34801 bytes) PRE-CUT METAL CABLE COVER WITH NYLON  and a pulley, while the treadle cord attached to the lower part of the shaft frame lower the one we want . In a countermarch loom, every shaft is actively involved in each shed: each shaft is either lifted or pulled down by each pedal. Uneven shed like 3 shafts against 1 is always large and clean . Because you actually lift or pull down every shaft, you never have any problem with one shaft floating when it should not. In our diagram you can see the treadle pulling down shaft #1 while the other three are lifted by the action oLec Nilus II Countermarch foled.jpg (36942 bytes)f the lam. When the lam moves down, the cord attached to it goes around the lower pulley, then around the upper one and finally, lifts the shaft attached to it.

 ...I hate to assemble anything...so, for those of you afraid of assembling a loom here is what I have to say:

Get a helper who can read the instructions while you assemble the loom. (or the other way around)

A portable drill may come in handy.

Follow the instructions step by step

You will be weaving sooner than you think..
