Transform your weaving craft with the Megado Computer Dobby 2.0 – seamless pattern creation and modification with modern connectivity and enhanced features.
PROMOTION
DESCRIPTION
If you’ve ever felt held back by the limitations of traditional floor looms, or simply prefer not to climb under the loom with each change in treadle tie up. LouëtMegado might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. This isn’t just a loom; it’s a thoughtfully engineered weaving system that blends the best of craftsmanship and cutting-edge tech, helping you bring even your most complex ideas to life with less effort and more joy.
At its core, the Megado is a high-performance floor loom built for serious weavers who want both power and ease. Though not literally a countermarch loom, it has the advantages of one! The single treadle is light and smooth to use, even with 32 shafts employed. The shed is consistently wide and clean, making the weaving process not just easier, but more satisfying.
When you add the Computer Dobby 2.0 to the Megado, everything opens up. You can connect wirelessly to the Louët Portal from your phone, tablet, or computer, giving you easy access to your patterns wherever you are. Designing, editing, and organizing your drafts becomes simple and streamlined. The electronic dobby lets you weave virtually any harness combination, using your favorite weaving software, like Fiberworks PCW, WeavePoint, Weave It, Pro Weave, Patternland, or Weavemaker, all fully compatible with Louët’s system. Your designs are saved in the standard Weaving Interchange Format (WIF), which the Megado reads and translates into shaft movements automatically, bringing your digital draft to life at the loom.
Whether you're weaving complex patterns or exploring something new, the Megado gives you the tools to create freely, and beautifully.

What are Dobby looms?
A dobby loom has a dobby mechanism, which is used to program the harness combinations for the weave pattern. Dobby is short for “draw boy” which refers to the weaver’s helper who was used to control the warp thread by pulling on draw threads. The dobby mechanism replaces the treadle/lam combination of the traditional floor looms. The performance of a multi-harness loom is vastly improved by using a dobby mechanism, as it overcomes the major problems associated with the use of a large number of treadles.
A dobby loom allows you to select the combination of harnesses for every shed opening you wish to make. The great advantage of a dobby loom is that it avoids the necessity and the labour involved in making multiple tie-ups to treadle positioned underneath a loom. An investment in a Louët Dobby ensures many years of comfortable and productive weaving.
The electronic dobby will give you almost unlimited harness combinations using a computer and software from Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, Wavemaker, Weave It, WeavePoint or Pro Weave, which all work with the Louët electronic interface. Connect your laptop and weave.
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.
What are the available weaving widths for the Megado loom?
The Megado loom is available in weaving widths of 40 cm, 70 cm, 90 cm, 110 cm, and 130 cm.
How does the Dobby 2.0 interface enhance the weaving experience?
The Dobby 2.0 interface offers WiFi connectivity, allowing for wireless pattern uploads and seamless integration with devices like smartphones and tablets, enhancing user convenience.
Is the Megado loom compatible with third-party weaving software?
The lift plan for an electronic dobby can be made by using any third-party weaving software that supports WIF files, enabling users to design and customize patterns before transferring to the Compu-Dobby wirelessly or via USB connection.
What materials are used in the construction of the Megado loom?
The Megado loom is constructed from lacquered ash hardwood, ensuring durability and a high-quality finish.
How does the countermarch shed system benefit weavers?
The countermarch shed system in the Megado loom provides a well-balanced and spacious shed, facilitating easier weaving and improved fabric quality.
Can the Megado loom be upgraded from 16 to 32 shafts?
No, it's advisable to choose the desired number of shafts at the time of purchase.
What accessories are included with the Megado loom?
The Megado loom comes with a built-in raddle, stainless steel reed (40-10 metric), Texsolv heddles (390 mm), lease and tie-up sticks, and warp sticks.
How does the electronic dobby system improve pattern complexity?
The electronic dobby system allows for almost unlimited harness combinations, enabling the creation of intricate and complex weave patterns with ease.
What is the purpose of the built-in raddle on the Megado loom?
The built-in raddle aids in evenly spacing warp threads during the warping process, ensuring consistent tension and improved weaving quality.
Are there any considerations for studio space when setting up the Megado loom?
The Megado loom has a relatively compact footprint for its capabilities, but adequate space is needed for comfortable operation and access to all parts of the loom.
