Louet Weaving Looms FAQs
What types of Louet looms do you stock?
We carry a range of Louet looms, including portable table looms like the Jane series, as well as larger floor looms such as the Spring II and Delta. Each model offers different features to suit weavers of all experience levels.
Are Louet looms suitable for beginners?
Yes, many Louet looms are beginner-friendly. Their intuitive design, clear instructions, and smooth mechanics make learning to weave more enjoyable and less overwhelming for new crafters.
Do Louet looms come assembled?
Louet looms typically require some assembly upon arrival, especially the larger floor looms. However, they come with clear instructions, and many users find the process manageable with a bit of patience.
How do I choose the right Louet loom?
Consider your available space, weaving goals, and experience level. Table looms are great for portability and learning, while floor looms offer more capability for complex or larger-scale projects. We’re happy to help you choose the right fit.
Can I weave wide fabrics on a Louet loom?
Yes, certain Louet looms, such as the Spring II and Delta, offer wide weaving widths, making them ideal for rugs, shawls, or yardage. Be sure to check the width specification on each model’s product page.
Are accessories and replacement parts available?

Louet floor looms are known for their advanced tension systems, ergonomic design, and quiet operation. They allow for consistent weaving, even with complex patterns or fine threads, and they’re built to last a lifetime.
Can I use Louet looms for both shaft and tapestry weaving?
Louet shaft looms are specifically designed for shaft weaving techniques. If you're looking to do tapestry work, we recommend a tapestry loom, though you may use a Louet loom for supplementary weft-style techniques within a shaft-woven framework.
