AVL Looms, Parts, and Accessories

At Thread Collective, we offer a variety of AVL looms to suit different weaving needs. Our most popular models include the AVL K-Series Computer Dobby Weaving Loom, which is ideal for complex, large-scale projects with computerised precision, and the AVL Workshop Dobby Loom, a more compact option perfect for smaller spaces without sacrificing performance. Both looms are designed for durability, efficiency, and precision weaving.

The right AVL loom depends on the scale and complexity of your weaving projects. If you require advanced features and have larger projects in mind, the AVL K-Series Computer Dobby Weaving Loom is an excellent choice. For smaller studios or workshops, the AVL Workshop Dobby Loom is more compact but still delivers the precision you need. Consider the size of your workspace, the types of textiles you want to create, and if you prefer computerised or manual control.

AVL looms are versatile and cater to both beginners and advanced weavers. Beginners will appreciate the user-friendly features of the AVL Workshop Dobby Loom, which is simpler to use while still offering excellent results. Advanced weavers may prefer the AVL K-Series Computer Dobby Loom for its precision, computerised features, and capability to handle more intricate weaving patterns. Regardless of experience level, AVL looms are designed to enhance the weaving process for all skill levels.

To ensure your AVL loom performs at its best for years to come, regular maintenance is essential. Keep the loom clean by dusting off threads and fibres after each use. Lubricate moving parts as recommended in the user manual to prevent wear and tear. Regularly check for loose screws or parts and tighten them as needed. It's also a good idea to inspect your loom’s accessories, such as shuttles and reeds, for any signs of damage or wear.

To set up a complete AVL weaving studio, you'll need more than just a loom. Essential accessories include the AVL End-Feed Shuttles, AVL Spool Rack, and AVL Rotary Temples for better tension control and yarn management. For warping, the AVL Warping Wheel and AVL Tension Box are crucial tools for precision. Additionally, the AVL Electric Bobbin Winder and AVL Yardage/Meter Counter streamline the process and make your weaving more efficient.

AVL looms and parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty that typically covers defects in materials and craftsmanship. The specific warranty period may vary depending on the loom or part, so it's important to check the documentation provided with your purchase. Thread Collective ensures that your AVL products are backed by excellent support, and we’re here to assist you with any warranty claims or questions.

While Thread Collective offers a wide range of AVL loom parts, including those for older models, offering replacement parts will still depend on availability. If you need a new part for an older loom or are looking to upgrade components, we may be able to help. Our team is available to assist you in finding the right replacement parts to keep your loom in optimal working condition.
