David
70 (27") with the new Beater. The David, a unique sinking shed jack loom,
has become a popular small floor loom on today’s market. Weaving on this loom
gives you a real appreciation for the word balance. “Balance” is the key in
this design. Louet engineers skillful design has created a sturdy, well-balanced
and easy to treadle loom. Technically, the David is a compactly constructed
floor loom that takes less floor space, but still has many of the same features
of a large floor loom. The “David” uses an ingenious but simple to understand
system of springs and pulleys, which produces a generous shed with remarkable
light treadling. The David has a built-in raddle and shelf and comes standard
with four harnesses and six treadles. It is expandable with an addition of
four harnesses and 5 treadles to eight harnesses with 10 treadles. The tie-up
is made to the metal parallel lams, which can be tied either singly or in
combinations, allowing for unbalanced weaves not possible on the usual kind
of sinking shed loom, the counterbalance type. This loom comes unassembled

Delta
110 The Delta's treadles are hinged from the back allowing for a very light
weight treadling action. The DELTA is a modern parallel counter marche loom
based on the HOLLANDIA, which it replaces, and the very successful SPRING. The
DELTA is easily recognizable as the flagship for the LOUET line of Floor looms.
Comfortable, robust and technologically advanced, but above all a weaver's loom.
Warp tension can be adjusted by fine increments to insure the tension is just
the way you want it. The floating breast beam insures tension is returned to
exactly the same tension as you had before you advanced the cloth. Tie ups are
easy. Every treadle is tied to every harness which means you only have to depress
one treadle at a time. All treadles work the same way across the full width
of the loom because of the parallel system. Also, all lams are horizontal which
makes changing tie-ups quick and easy. For individual comfort, blocks are available
to adjust treadle height. Harnesses are adjustable to allow you to create slack
in the heddles for easier threading and tighten them for weaving. The brake
system on the DELTA is a friction brake system on the warp beam, which is sturdy
and easy to operate. A convenient advancing system is provided on the cloth
beam.
