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.
Louet David 28" Floor Loom
This is a unique sinking shed jack loom. It is a compact 8 harness, 10 treadle loom that outperforms many larger looms. It is easy to tie-up like other jack or counter balance looms, but the David gives the impression of a counter march loom. All the harnesses not pulled down by a treadle are lifted by an ingenious spring system, which also results in easy treadling. The loom is made of lacquered birch and comes nearly assembled with a built-in raddle, shelf on top of the castle, 800 Texsolv string heddles, 10 dent stainless steel reed, and 16 warp sticks. Available options - second warp beam, sectional warp beam (1" sections), friction brake for warp beam, and a bench.

Louet Spring 90, 36 " 8-shaft Loom
The Louet " Spring" loom is one of the most innovative cleverly designed floor looms on the market. It uses a parallel countermarch system for the shafts and lamms, which is easy to use and simple to tie up. Another exclusive feature to this loom it 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 shafts 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 shafts, a good shed can be made, thus saving wasted warp. 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 Spring comes standard with 8 shafts and 10 treadles, but has the possibility to expand it with sets of 4 shafts and 4 treadles, to a maximum 12 shafts and 14 treadles. The heddles and tie-up cords are Texsolv. The spring has two weaving widths 90 cm (36 in) and 110 cm (44 in). It comes standard with 8 shafts & 10 treadles, 600 Texsolv heddles (Spring 90) and 800 Texsolv heddles (Spring 110), stanless steel reed 40-10 (10 epi) 12 cm (5 in) inside height, friction brake, 2 lease sticks and 16 warp sticks. The " Spring" is made of lacquered beech and comes ready-to-assemble.
