Louet Looms

Louet Table Looms
Louet Floor Looms

Table Looms Klik 40 For workshops, teaching the new weaver, or samples, the "Klik" is unparalleled in the industry. It is a compact 40 cm (16") wide, economical, and expandable table loom. You can start with four harnesses and keep adding harnesses by fours all the way up to sixteen. The harnesses are raised by lifting the handles at the sides until the little spring legs click out. Or should we say "klik" out? The harnesses fall back into place when the spring legs are pushed back in. The handles have been made alternating; long and short, dark and light colored, to make visual distinction between the harnesses easy. There are also stickers supplied with the loom, which can be used to number the harnesses. The swinging beater is attached with U-shaped steel brackets to the frame, ensuring a parallel beating motion. It holds standard size reeds. The "Klik" comes complete with four harnesses, 200 texsolv heddles, stainless steel reed 40-10 (10 e.p.i.), 2 flat shuttles, 16 warp sticks, 2 tie-up sticks, 2 lease sticks and instructions. Additional harness are sold in sets of four. The "Klik" is made of lacquered beech and comes as a kit. A matching floor stand, bench and second warpbeam are available as accessories. The second warpbeam fits in the pre-drilled holes in the floor stand.

The Kombo table looms are foldable to a compact size enabling you to transport them in a car, hang them on a wall, or tuck them under a bed, even dressed with the warp on them. A floor stand 40 or 70cm is available. This allows you to remove both the beams to the floorstand for more room and longer warps. The Kombo is made of lacquered beech and includes 200 Texsolv heddles (20,5cm) for the 40cm Kombo and 400 for the 70cm, stainless steel reed 40/10, built-in raddle, 16 warpsticks, lease sticks, tie-up sticks, 2 flat shuttles and instructions.

Floor Looms David 70 and 90 Rightly the 'David' among the looms. This compact eight harness floor loom looks modest, but in functional quality it surpasses many large floor looms. Like a counter balance or a jack loom it has a singular tie-up. The shed however gives one the impression of a counter march. All harnesses that are not pulled down by a treadle, are lifted by an ingenious spring system. The spring system also results in easy treadling: once the treadle is pushed down, the weight of your leg is sufficient to keep the shed open. The David has a built-in raddle and shelf. It comes standard with 8 harnesses and 10 treadles, partly assembled and packed in one box. The David is made of lacquered beech and is available in two weaving widths: 70 and 90cm. Standard included are 800 Texsolv heddles (28cm) for both David 70 and 90, stainless reed 40/10, lease sticks and tie-up sticks, 16 warp sticks and instructions.

Spring 90 and 110 The Spring features the parallel counter march system for harness action and the moving breast beam to control the tension of the warp. The working of these systems will be explained when you click on these words. The special device that attaches harness bars and lams to the Texsolv cord of the countermarch allows exact adjustment of the correct height. The harnesses always stay horizontal when they move up or down. On average, with a counter march you have to make twice the number of tie-ups, compared to a jack loom. On Louët looms however, making or changing tie-ups is very easy. Simply hook on the supplied Texsolv cords, which are pre-cut to the right length. The warp is held by a friction brake, so you can advance the fabric sitting at your loom. The design of the loom includes a built-in raddle on top and a storage shelf. The Spring can be ordered as a kit or partly assembled as a 4, 8 or 12 harness loom with respectively 6, 10 or 14 treadles. It is made of lacquered beech. The Spring 90 and 110 come with 800 (Spring 90) or 1200 (Spring 110) Texsolv heddles, a stainless reed 40/10, cross sticks, tie-up sticks and 16 warp sticks, and instructions.

Delta 110 The Delta, the flagship of our looms with treadles, is a loom that like our Spring, thanks its exceptional qualities to the application of the parallel counter march system and moving breast beam. The working of these systems will be explained when you click on these words. The springy tie-up device on the treadles provides a progressive shed. This means the shed widens gradually towards the back harnesses, so that the warp threads above and below in the shed are on even levels. The treadles and footbar hang conveniently at the same level. When the treadles and footbar are too low we have wooden blocks for heightening these. The Texsolv tie-up cords, pre-cut in the right lengths, make changing your tie-ups quick and easy. The Delta is equipped with a treadle for the friction brake device on the warp beam and a convenient advancing handle on the cloth beam. Included is a profiled lath on the breast beam which protects the woven fabric. The hardwood loom is made of ash. Apart from its fine appearance, ash has always been valued for its outstanding qualities of strength and resilience.
