Louet Jane Shuttle Race Kit

Upgrade Your Jane Loom for Smoother, Faster Weaving

Take your weaving to the next level with the Louet Jane Shuttle Race Kit, designed specifically for Louet's portable Jane Looms. This kit adds a removable shuttle race to your loom, offering the kind of precise shuttle control typically found in larger floor looms. Perfect for high-speed weaving and finer threads, the shuttle race keeps your shuttle gliding evenly across the shed—reducing snags, skips, and yarn distortion.

Whether you're working with a 50 cm, or 70 cm Jane Loom, this upgrade offers the consistency, efficiency, and precision that experienced weavers demand.

Why Add a Shuttle Race?

A shuttle race is a fixed support surface that runs across the beater, guiding the shuttle across the shed. This upgrade:

• Reduces hand fatigue during repetitive weaving

• Ensures cleaner selvedges

• Prevents yarn sag and catching
