Floor Looms

The Parallel Countermarch System is a feature found on the Louet Megado, Octado, Delta, and Spring weaving looms. It allows the lifting of multiple shafts, which makes treadling easier for the weaver compared to treadling on a jack loom.

In a countermarch loom, each of the shafts is actively involved in each shed, making each shaft either lifted or pulled down by each treadle.

Each harness and corresponding lams are attached to the cord, running over the six rollers. The ends of the cord are connected, so the cord is a closed circuit.

The main difference between an 8-shaft and a 12-shaft floor weaving loom lies in the number of shafts, which influences the complexity of the patterns that can be woven.

While computerised looms may simplify complex weaving processes by automating shaft selection, these are more suitable for advanced weavers with more experience in weaving.
