The Louët David III Floor Loom is where smart engineering meets smooth weaving. This third-generation version of Louët's popular David loom brings thoughtful improvements, making it one of the most user-friendly and precise floor looms available today.
The David III features a compact footprint, yet it offers the power and performance of a full-sized loom.
