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 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-07-07T11:34:46+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Dobby Weaving Loom"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2019-06-08T00:53:39+10:00","alt":"Dobby Looms: Computer and Mechanical","width":1800,"height":800,"src":"\/\/threadcollective.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/computerdobby2onmegado.jpg?v=1704930982"}},{"id":270991491257,"handle":"floor-loom","title":"Floor Looms","updated_at":"2024-11-14T19:20:02+10:00","body_html":"\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFind The Floor Loom Right For You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloor looms are ideal for the weaver looking to weave longer or wider projects.

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 mechanical dobby is a program bar with a pegs system. The numbered holes in the program bars correspond with the 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 the computer dobby option.
Easy treadling
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 is 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 very high tension on the warp.
In most cases, Louet floor looms are pre-order items, and the turnaround time can be up to 12 weeks, many times it's shorter than this. We deliver Australia and New Zealand-wide. Please note that delivery in some cases may incur an additional charge. Please contact us to confirm delivery charges and production times.
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.
