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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA 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 labor involved in making multiple tie-ups to treadle positioned underneath a loom. An investment in a Dobby loom ensures many years of comfortable and productive weaving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe mechanical dobby is a program bar with pegs system. The numbered holes in the program bars correspond with harnesses of the loom. If you want a harness to be raised, you place a peg in the corresponding hole of the program bar. Your series of program bars can be as long as you like; however, if the number of program bars becomes very large, you may want to consider an electronic dobby. 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-07-07T11:34:46+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Weaving Loom Type_Computer Dobby"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Weaving Loom Type_Mechanical Dobby"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Dobby Loom"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2019-06-08T00:53:39+10:00","alt":null,"width":800,"height":476,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2314\/4741\/collections\/computerdobby2onmegado.jpg?v=1559919219"}},{"id":270991491257,"handle":"floor-loom","title":"Floor Loom","updated_at":"2021-10-12T13:28:38+10:00","body_html":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFind The Floor Loom Right For You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFloor looms are ideal for the weaver looking to weave longer or wider projects.
