Leclerc Colonial v2 - 8 or 12 Shaft Traditional Jack Loom

Premier Jack Weaving Loom from Leclerc

A loom reminiscent of those our ancestors used, with many major improvements which makes this one of the best Leclerc looms ever produced. Its great adaptability allows it to be used as a general-purpose loom, or for any specific purpose required by an inventive and creative weaver. Made of the finest Canadian maple, it is finished with clear lacquer and varnish so that the beauty of the natural grain and colour of the lumber remains visible. Because the jacks are in the loom castle, less pressure is needed to lift the shafts. The overhead beater is optional.

Upgrades from v1 Colonial

The major changes from the v1 Colonial are:

  • Wider and cleaner shed
