How does the side tie-up system benefit weavers?

The side tie-up system eliminates the need to crawl under the loom when adjusting treadle tie-ups. This makes changing patterns easier, reduces strain on the weaver’s back and knees, and improves overall convenience when weaving complex multi-shaft designs.

What materials are used in the construction of the AVL Home Loom?

The AVL Home Loom is made from kiln-dried hardwood, ensuring stability and durability. It is finished with organic mineral oil, which enhances the natural beauty of the wood while providing protection against environmental changes and prolonged use.

How does the spring lever system affect treadling?

The spring lever system is designed to make treadling lighter and more efficient. The lightweight harness frames reduce resistance, allowing for easy treadling even with high-tension warps or sticky yarns. This feature enhances comfort during extended weaving sessions.

What are the available weaving widths for the AVL Home Loom?

The AVL Home Loom is available in three different weaving widths: 61cm (24 inches), 100cm (40 inches), and 120cm (48 inches). These options accommodate various project sizes, from small textiles and sampling to large-scale weaving projects like blankets and wide fabric panels.

Can the AVL Home Loom accommodate a flyshuttle beater?

Yes, the loom can be upgraded with a single-box flyshuttle beater, which comes with an AVL end-feed flyshuttle and pirns. This upgrade allows for faster weaving speeds and smoother weft insertion, making it ideal for production weaving or large projects.

What type of brake system does the loom feature?

The AVL Home Loom is equipped with a locking brake system that includes a foot pedal release. This design allows the weaver to release the brake from the seated weaving position, eliminating the need to stand up and manually disengage the warp tension, improving workflow efficiency.

Is the AVL Home Loom suitable for small spaces?

Yes, the loom is designed to fit into small spaces thanks to its folding frame and low profile. It can be stored compactly when not in use, making it ideal for home studios, classrooms, and smaller workspaces without compromising its large weaving capacity.

What heddle options are available for this loom?

The loom comes standard with 100 heddles per harness, for a total of 800 heddles across its eight harnesses. AVL offers both metal and polyester heddles, allowing weavers to choose based on their material preferences and weaving techniques.

What optional accessories can enhance the functionality of the AVL Home Loom?

The AVL Home Loom can be customized with several optional accessories to enhance its versatility and efficiency. Available upgrades include:
Single-Box Flyshuttle Beater, with AVL End Feed Flyshuttle and Pirns
1/2-Yard Sectional Beam
Storage Shelf
Second Beam system with Plain Beam
