What are the differences between the Nilus and Nilus II models?
The Nilus II offers several improvements over the original Nilus loom, making it a great option for weavers seeking more flexibility and comfort. One of the main differences is the height of the front beam; the Nilus II has a higher front beam (34.5 inches) compared to the Nilus (31.25 inches), which makes it more comfortable for taller weavers. Additionally, the Nilus II accommodates a larger maximum weaving width of 72 inches (183 cm), allowing for bigger projects. Unlike the Nilus, which is a Jack loom, the Nilus II is available as a Jack loom or in both countermarche and counterbalance options, providing greater versatility for different weaving styles. The Nilus II also offers enhanced stability and a smoother shed, ensuring optimal performance regardless of the tie-up combination.
Can the Nilus II loom be folded for storage?
Yes, the Nilus II can be folded for storage. The 4-shaft model can fold to 27.5" (70 cm), while the 8-shaft model can fold to a depth of 32" (81 cm).
What shedding mechanisms are available for the Nilus II?
The Nilus II is available in three shedding mechanisms: Jack-type, Jack-type with back hinge treadles, counterbalance, and countermarche, catering to different weaving preferences.
Is the Nilus II suitable for weaving rugs?
Yes, the Nilus II's sturdy construction and effective tension control make it suitable for weaving various materials, including rugs. We recommend choosing the counterbalance or countermarche style for optimal performance if you primarily wish to weave rugs.
How does the back hinge treadle system benefit weavers?
Back-hinge treadles improve weaving efficiency by reducing the effort needed to depress the treadles, especially on looms with more than four shafts. The extended treadles pivot at the back, providing a leverage action that makes it easier to create a clean shed without requiring as much lower body strength. This design, available on both countermarch and Jack looms, also includes a unique "Treadle Guide" to prevent side-to-side movement, allowing the weaver to focus on the pattern and shuttle rather than foot placement.
What accessories are included with the Nilus II loom?
Standard accessories include a stainless steel reed, lease sticks, treadles, warp rods, wire heddles, canvas aprons, a boat shuttle, plastic bobbins, cords, the "Warp and Weave" book, and a reed & heddle hook.
Can the Nilus II be upgraded from 4 to 8 shafts?
Yes, the Nilus II 4-shaft model can be upgraded to 8 shafts using an add-on kit, allowing for more complex weaving patterns.
Are sectional warp beams available for the Nilus II?
Yes, the Nilus II can be equipped with sectional warp beams, which are beneficial for certain warping techniques.
How does the integrated shed regulator in the counterbalance version work?
The integrated shed regulator ensures a good shed with any tie-up combination, eliminating problems sometimes experienced with unbalanced tie-ups.
