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 b weaving loom ack 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.

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.

louet loom 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.
