Floor Looms

Louet looms are manufactured in The Netherlands and are built to last without being overly heavy. The Louet brand is known around the world as the professional loom of choice. The Louet floor looms are equipped with Texsolv heddles, for lightweight operation.  Louet floor looms come partly assembled and have an illustrated assembly guide.

The David is a popular small floor loom that looks modest but surpasses many large floor looms in functional quality. Spring and Delta have a parallel countermarch system for harness action and a moving breast beam to control the tension of the warp, which makes them easy to use.

Generally weaving on a floor loom is faster as the shafts are operated by the weaver's feet, freeing up the arms to concentrate on throwing the shuttle.  Floor looms generally start with a minimum of 4 weaving shafts and increase up to 12 shafts. Some of the dobby models can have up to 40 shafts.
