Floor Weaving Looms FAQs
What is the Parallel Countermarch System?
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.
