The Louet Octado is available in three weaving widths: 70, 90 and 110 cm. The special features, like easy programming and light treadling of the countermarch shed, are all integrated in the Octado loom. The computer dobby means no more setting up pegs and more time to weave.
The Octado is made out of lacquered beech hardwood and the most complex castle section is pre-assembled. Included with the loom are a shelf and built-in raddle, a stainless steel reed 40-10 (metric), 600/800/1200 Texsolv heddles (330 mm), lease and tie-up sticks and sixteen warp sticks.
The electronic dobby will give you almost unlimited harness combinations using a computer and software from Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, Weavemaker, Weave It, WeavePoint or Pro Weave, which all work with the Louët electronic interface.

If you’re interested in an item that is currently on backorder, please contact us before placing your order to confirm that it will be ready to ship from Louët within the promotion window to be eligible for the discount.
If the Louet item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately 6 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate, and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur.
Both Octado and Megado looms feature a countermarch shed. This is accomplished by raising the back beam at the same time as the shafts are being raised. The beam movement also compensates for changes in warp tension as the shed is made. An innovative construction ensures the action of the well-balanced pedal to be very light in operation. This main pedal and also the optional weaving bench are adjustable in height to accommodate the weaver’s physical requirements.
As with our Delta and Spring looms, Octado and Megado have the Louet sprung breast beam, a unique warp tension control system, which allows the weaver to set and check the warp tension each time the warp is advanced.
These innovative design features give our Octado and Megado looms an indisputable advantage over other competitive products. No other multi-harness loom treadles as light and creates as large a shed, even with a very high tension on the warp.
What are the available weaving widths for the Octado loom?
The Octado is available in three weaving widths: 70 cm (27.5"), 90 cm (35.4"), and 110 cm (43.3").

The electronic dobby allows for nearly unlimited shaft combinations, facilitating complex patterns without manual tie-ups.
Which software is compatible with the Octado's electronic dobby?
Compatible software includes Fiberworks PCW, WeavePoint, Pixeloom, ProWeave, and WeaveIt.
What materials are used in constructing the Octado loom?
The Octado is crafted from lacquered beech hardwood, ensuring durability and a polished finish.
Is the Octado loom suitable for beginners?
While designed for advanced weavers, its user-friendly features make it accessible for dedicated beginners.
How does the Octado's treadling system work?
The loom features a single treadle system, eliminating the need for multiple tie-ups and simplifying complex pattern weaving.
What accessories are included with the Octado loom?
The loom comes with a built-in raddle, a stainless steel reed (40-10 metric), Texsolv heddles, lease and tie-up sticks, and warp sticks.
Can the Octado loom be upgraded with additional shafts?
No, the Octado is limited to 8 shafts; expansion is not possible.
What is the weight of the Octado loom?
Depending on the weaving width, the Octado weighs between 45 kg (99 lbs) and 53 kg (117 lbs).
