The Louet " Spring" 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. Another exclusive feature to this loom is the patented moving breastbeam 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 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 4 harnesses and 6 treadles, but gives the possibility to expand it, by sets of 4 harnesses and 4 treadles, to maximal 12 harnesses and 14 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 8 harnesses, 10 treadles, 600 Texsolf 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
