Why We Love the Spring II
Louet’s Spring II is a favorite for weavers who demand versatility and precision. The floating breast beam design actively responds to warp tension changes, making it easier to open large sheds without over-tensioning. The ergonomic improvements—especially the redesigned crank handle, enhanced brake disc, and improved beater radius—make long weaving sessions more comfortable. Combined with the strength of Texsolv tie-up and the pre-strung convenience Louet is known for, the Spring II is a professional-grade tool that enhances your weaving from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the parallel countermarch system, and why is it better?
A: Louet’s parallel countermarch system offers even tension across all shafts and treadles. This improves shed clarity and makes tie-ups simpler, especially for complex weave structures.
Q: What’s special about the floating breast beam?
A: Unlike traditional fixed beams, the Spring II’s breast beam moves with the warp tension—providing a larger shed with less resistance. This reduces weaver fatigue and warp stress.
Q: How hard is it to assemble?
A: The loom arrives mostly pre-assembled, including pre-strung shafts and cords. Clear instructions and all necessary tools are included. Most customers complete assembly in a few hours.
Q: Can I add more shafts later?
A: Yes, you can expand from 8 to 12 shafts using the 4-harness extension kit.
Q: Do I need freight delivery for this loom?
A: No. All models ship via standard courier in compact, cleverly packed boxes.
