Louët's floating breast beam system
Floating Breast Beam System - (video provided by Louët Support)
The floating breast beam system is often overlooked by Spring loom owners. The purpose of this system is to help the weaver maintain consistent warp tension after each advance of the cloth.
In practice, it provides a very clear, almost black-and-white indication of your warp tension. If your warp contains more elastic threads, or if it was not wound tightly and evenly, the floating breast beam will drop slightly as it absorbs this extra elasticity or slack in the warp.
You can easily manage this by advancing your warp more frequently, allowing the floating breast beam to return to its intended neutral position.
See the video below for a detailed explanation of the Louët floating breast beam system.
