Product Description
The Louet Spring is a countermarch floor loom available in 90 cm (35″) and 110 cm (43″) weaving widths. The loom can be ordered with eight or twelve harnesses. The Spring features the parallel countermarch system for harness action and the moving breast beam to control the tension of the warp.
Innovations match high expectations
These innovations make sure the loom matches the highest expectations weavers may have concerning the functional quality. Making or changing tie-ups is very easy: simply hook on the supplied Texsolv loop cords, which are pre-cut to the right length. The Spring has a patented floating breast beam. This special system allows you to weave heavily tensioned warps without putting any stress on the loom. The tension is always the same on the warp whether the shed is open or closed. With the wonderful shed this loom creates – your ability to weave closer to shafts becomes possible, cutting the loom loss on your warp.

Rebecca Logan (verified owner) –
The Spring II is everything I loved about the original Spring, plus all the upgrades I had ever imagined. Beaming on is super easy, and all the fiddly stuff (doing the tie up, threading, sleying) has been made easierdue to the ease of working without the cloth beam in place. The new sturdy front supports and thicker foot beam make me feel secure working around the loom. It just feels solid. And the treadling is so feather light! The eight inch sweet spot for weaving lets you really get into a good weaving rhythm. Overall, this is my dream loom. I couldn’t be happier!
