Kombo 40
The Kombo looms provide you with up-to-date weaving technology that makes weaving a true joy and the choice of a table loom much simpler.
The smooth overhead beater system is exceptional and easy to operate. The Kombo folds flat to a convenient 6" for ease of storage or moving your Kombo around to workshops or a friend's. All you need to decide today is the weaving width you would like: 40cm (16 inch) or 70 cm (28 inch), from there you can continue to build with a four shaft extension kit to go from the original four harness to an eight harness loom. Add a floor stand, and this table top loom becomes a standing loom.
All Louet looms come supplied with "Texsolv" string heddles and tie-up cords allowing for quiet operation and easy tie-ups.

Spring 90 Floor Loom
The Louet Spring loom is one of the most innovative cleverly designed floor looms on the market today. It uses the Parallel countermarch system for the harnesses and lams, which is easy to use and simple to tie-up.
An exclusive feature to this loom is the patented moving breast beam controlled by springs. The breast beam is attached to the loom in such a way that it is free to move toward the harnesses when the shed is made and then back toward the weaver when the shed is closed again. The distance between the breast beam and the back beam actually changes during weaving. With this system a larger shed can be obtained with less tension increase in the warp and less effort from the weaver.
The advantages of this system are especially evident as you near the end of the warp. Even when the end of the warp is very close to the harnesses, a good shed can be made, thus saving yards and yards of wasted warp over the life of your loom.
The moving breast beam also brings on exactly the same warp tension each time the warp is advanced. The design of the loom includes a built-in raddle on top of the castle and a storage shelf for keeping everything you need within easy reach.
The Spring comes standard with 4 harnesses and 6 treadles, but gives the possibility to expand, by sets of 4 harnesses, to a maximum of 12 harnesses. The heddles and tie-up cords are of the Swedish Texsolv system that make them quite strong and non-stretching. The spring has two weaving widths 90 cm (36") and 110 cm (44"). (See below). It comes standard with four harnesses, six treadles, 600 Texsolv heddles (Spring 90) and 800 Texsolv heddles (Spring 110), stainless steel reed 40-10 (10 e.p.i.) 12 cm (5") inside height, friction brake, 2 lease sticks and 16 warp sticks. The Spring is made of lacquered beech and comes ready-to-assemble with clear instructions and tools.

Octado 70 Dobby Floor Loom
Another great dobby weaving loom from Louet: 8 Shafts, 70 cm, 90 cm and 110 cm weaving width (28", 36" and 44").
A dobby mechanism (programmable shaft selector) is an alternative for the tie-ups to the treadles on a standard hand weaving loom. Looms with 16 or more shafts need a dobby mechanism, because it becomes unmanageable to operate such a loom with treadles.
The successful introduction of the Megado dobby loom in 1998, and the reaction of weavers showed us that a dobby is not only necessary for a loom with many shafts, but it makes weaving so much more comfortable. Of course this also goes for looms with less than 16 shafts.
An 8-shafts jack loom requires an average of 40 tie-ups on the treadles. A counter marche requires 80 tie-ups. This needs to be done in a very uncomfortable position. With a dobby loom, you can say good-bye to the tie-ups!
An investment in a Louet dobby loom will allow you many years of comfortable weaving.
The new Octado has a similar operating method as the familiar Megado. This means a big counter marche shed and a very light treadling action. Again, easy on the weaver.
The Octado can be operated with a mechanical dobby, or with an electronic interface. The electronic interface works with most popular computer weaving software, includeing Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, PixieLoom, Weavemaker, Proweave and Weave It.
A full list of optional equipment is available: Bench, second warp beam, sectional warp beam and flying shuttle.
The middle section of the Octado (where all the shafts are) comes completely assembled. A detailed instruction manual will help you to complete the assembly without any problems.

Megado 70 Dobby Floor Loom
This innovative dobby loom is the flagship of the Louet family, and comes as a surprise to the complex weaver...Sorry, only the weaving is complex! The Megado is simple, easy to operate, and robust enough to handle all your projects. To create a shed, we invented a new system. The selected shafts and the back beam move in conjunction to create a countermarch shed.
The Megado is available in 28", 44", and 52" weaving widths. It can be purchased with either 16 shafts or 32 shafts. The lifting mechanism is incredibly light to operate, even when lifting most of the shafts.
The Megado can be purchased with either the mechanical dobby head or an electronic dobby. Several software packages that work with the Megado interface include: Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, PixieLoom, Weavemaker, Proweave and Weave It.
The Megado interface supports both PC and MacIntosh operating platforms. We also now offer a USB to serial converter for our interfaces.
The Megado is made of Ash hardwood and is finished with a double coat of semi gloss laquer.
