Louët Support – Louët offers an online support system that includes hundreds of self-help articles, as well as a ticket-based system for submitting specific questions. Louët Support typically responds within 24–48 hours.

Lofty Fiber Support – If you purchased your Spring loom from Lofty Fiber, we are happy to assist with any post-purchase questions you may have. Our team includes several staff members who are highly knowledgeable about the Spring loom and ready to help in any way needed.

First Steps – Lofty Fiber recommends planning your first warp as a simple plain weave or a basic twill. This allows you to test your loom and become comfortable with its operation. Starting with a complex pattern while still learning your loom can be challenging, especially if any issues arise.

First, confirm that your lease sticks have been removed. Also ensure that your warp travels upward from the warp beam, over the back beam, and then forward toward the shafts.

If you have a narrow warp and have tied up only 4–6 shafts, it is completely normal that, when you release a treadle, your shafts may sink to their lowest position. In this case, all your warp threads begin from the bottom shed position—much like a jack loom. This is perfectly fine. If your tie-up is correct, pressing a treadle will raise only the upper shed.

However, if you have tied up additional treadles—even ones you are not using, such as a simple tabby tie-up—the resting position of your warp may shift higher. In that case, you will notice more balanced up-and-down movement with each treadle depression.

A different warp—wider, denser, or threaded on more shafts—will also produce a more typical countermarch appearance.

There is a very complete tutorial showing warping the Ashford Brooklyn loom below. This uses the LoftyFiber raddle and Helping Hands.

The Helping Hands for the Erica works on both the 30 and 50cm Erica Looms. You do need the original metal rods that are provided with the Erica as lease sticks. LoftyFIber can get these for you if they are lost!

Although this is shown on the David 3, the process is the same on the David 2 and David 1. The David 2 and 1 require different dimension for the Helping Hands.

The above video shows lashing on the warp. To see a video that shows the method of using larks head knots to reattach the single apron ord (tie-up stick), please see the video on Wapring the Spring II with helping hands.

This video shows warping with helping hands. It uses larks head knots to attach the apron bar, rather than lashing on.

Installing the Helping Hands and Warping the Spring II Loom. This one uses an extra tie-up (apron) bar to attach the warp.

The double warp allows two chains to be beamed at the same time. Currently this add-on is only available for the Louet Spring and Louet David looms.

Louët generally does a good job on its instruction manuals and videos. We have added a few links below to lead you to the Louët support site that shows these instructions and videos

Here are some written out with photos also provided by Louët .

Here is a link to the Assembly video, assembly instruction manual and an operating guide for the David 3 loom, all provided by Louët.

The tie up cords are 16cm long and should have exactly 11 loops. Always use the last useable loop on each end - one end slides over the lam and the other end slips over the screw head on the treadle.

With the David 3, some weave structures where you are lifting 6 against 2 shafts, for example, you may find that 1 or more of the shafts that should not lower, get pulled down anyway. There are a couple reasons why this may happen

First, look very closely for a heddle that has been split between two shafts, or a heddle that fell off the end of a shaft bar and is getting caught as you raise and lower shafts. If this is the problem, cutting away the offending heddle is the simplest solution.

If this is not the issue, try this next solution

Remove the shelf and expose the cams and springs. You are going to disconnect a spring from the cam texsolv cord and re-attach closer to the cam. you are basically shortening the connection point of the spring to the cord. Make sure you don't let go of that cord as it will want to pull away.

Louët has a support article and video that shows this solution.

Here is a video made by Louët showing the David 2 in a warping demonstration. The David 3 can be warped the same way.

The answer lies in the parallel countermarche system. The Spring has two lams for every shaft—one upper and one lower. The lower lams pull shafts upward, and the upper lams pull shafts downward. Each lam (and therefore each shaft) is tied to every active treadle. This means every shaft either moves up or down each time a treadle is pressed. As a result, every warp thread is forced either upward or downward.

This differs from a jack loom, where only the active shafts are raised. In a balanced warp, approximately half of the warp threads remain stationary while the others are pulled upward.

What also commonly happens with Jack looms and table looms, the lower shed is pulled upwards slightly through the shaft lifting process and this consequence of lifting the active shafts, reduces the shed size.

With the Spring loom, every warp thread is actively moved with every treadle depression, ensuring full thread separation and guaranteeing a consistently excellent shed.

The Jane loom was first introduced in 2008. At that time, it came as either a 40 cm (15.5") or 70 cm (27.5") weaving width.

in Approximately 2019, the Jane 50 (19.5") was added due to high demand.

In 2024, Louët added a 16 shaft model and quickly made the 8 shaft model expandable to 16 shafts at a later date.

The original 8 shaft only model is now sold out and no longer available.

Louët offers the Jane 50, Jane 70 and a Jane 90. All in 8 shafts (expandable to 16 shafts) or directly as 16 shafts.

So in 2025, there are 6 models of Jane loom available to purchase.

Warp Chains are usually used wound for warping a multi-shaft loom, and are also used for indirect warping on rigid heddle looms.

Steps to understand for winding a warp chain:

• Determining the warp path to obtain the desired warp length. Note - it's important for new weavers to understand that a complete revolution is two warp ends!

• Winding the Warp Chain and Forming the Cross

• Changing Warp Colors

• Tie-Off the Cross and Choke ties in the Chain

• Removing the Chain from the Board or Reel (chaining off)

Harness heights and blocking pin – ANY TIME YOU WANT TO ADJUST SHAFT OR LAM HEIGHTS, STEP 1 IS ALWAYS “INSERT THE BLOCKING PIN.”

Any adjustment made without the blocking pin in place will result in incorrect positioning of your shafts or lams.

Your loom will arrive from Louët with the harness heights correctly set. Louët uses a fail-proof method to ensure this. When assembling your shafts, the top frame of the castle—containing the upper pulleys—is placed in a jig. The cords are then installed and tensioned to their exact specifications.

Next, the harnesses and lams are connected, also using this jig, by resting them on preset shelves before attaching them to the Texsolv cords.

Once in place, a level is used to ensure all shafts and lams are precisely parallel. Finally, the blocking pin and a transport safety pin are inserted to keep everything perfectly aligned during packaging and shipment.

Therefore, when your loom arrives, you can be confident that the shaft and lam heights have been set correctly.

There are so many ways to do things in weaving - this is a collection of a few techniques. More to come!

If your Spring brake is not releasing smoothly, first check whether the cable is kinked or riding on top of itself. If the cable looks correct, the most likely cause is that the drum has become too rough—often with small grooves worn into the surface. Use coarse sandpaper to lightly sand the inside of the drum, then reattach the cable and test the brake. This is easiest to evaluate with a warp on the loom so you can test under tension. This simple fix resolves about 90% of brake-related issues and typically becomes necessary several years after purchasing a new loom.

The Spring assembly instructions also include detailed parts lists with corresponding part numbers. It can often be difficult to describe a missing part accurately, but using the specific terminology and part numbers provided by Louët makes ordering replacement parts much easier for everyone.

The Louët Jane loom is one of the best table looms on the market today. It is packed with features and highly portable.

Most weavers look for a compact, easy-to-transport table loom for workshops or guild events—and it must weave well, operate reliably, and handle a wide range of weave structures. The Jane checks all of these boxes and more.

The Jane is also ideal for weavers with limited space, whether in a city apartment or a busy family home. Add a floor stand, and your Jane becomes even more versatile.

LoftyFiber’s TempoTreadle is an excellent addition, helping you select the correct toggle for your pattern every time. See more about TempoTreadle here.

The Jane has quickly become one of the most popular table looms available.

Here is a summary of the main features of the Jane loom:

Large shed – The shed on a Jane loom is 2–2.5", which is excellent for a table loom.

Metal ratchet – A major advantage. This metal ratchet-and-pawl system has been used on Louët looms for more than 35 years. It is well proven, holds strong tension, doesn’t slip, and rarely wears out. If needed, the pawl can be replaced for just a few dollars.

Folds flat – The folding mechanism is ingenious. By removing two locking knobs and loosening the warp-beam ratchet, the loom folds flat to a height of 8 inches. Lock the ratchet again and use the same two knobs to secure the loom in its folded position. And all of this can be done with the warp still on the loom. Check out the video below from Louët .

Beater lock - the Jane's overhead beater has a natural rest position that actually reduces your weaving area. Louët has built in a click lock system so you can push the beater out of the way and lock it to maximize your weaving area. This entire motion becomes a natural and fluid part of your weaving rhythm.

Toggle positive lock position - The Jane's toggles travel 200 degrees, thus once they are pulled fully down, the rest position is past 180 degrees giving the toggle a positive lock position. This is important for the Jane as each shafts elastic is constantly pulling on the shaft to come back down to its rest position. This means every toggle has to be tipped past the 180-degree (fully down) position, before the elastic force will pull the shaft back to its rest (closed) position.

Shafts that snap down - Further to the point above, the elastics on each shaft snap the shafts back down to their rest position. Shafts can stick partially up ensuring a clean shed on every pick.

Carry Handle and Feet to rest on - Louët has added a carry handle to the 50cm model. As well as rubber stoppers or "feet" to the side of the loom so that the loom can be stood up on its side. The Carry handle is only on the 50cm model because the 70 and 90 cm models simply rest too high to be able to carry these models in the same way.

Built in Raddle and Shelf - The Louët raddle is built in to all Louët looms, including the Jane. There is also a handy shelf ontop of the castle. A double sided shelf appears on the 16 shaft Jane models.

With all these features, you can see why this loom is seen as the best table loom on the market.

The design of the Louët Jane beater leaves it to be easily bent or torqued out of center. This can happen over time or accidently without even knowing.

If your beater is out of center, closer to one side of your loom than the other, or touching one side of your loom, try this fix.

It is a simple fix. With warp on or off, lift your beater so it is parallel to the table and torque your beater in the direction needed. (if the beater is practically touching the left side, torque the beater to the right)

This Louëtvideo shows how

The Jane loom is delivered partially assembled - the frame and beams are assembled, except for the Jane 90 where the frame also must be assembled. The change for the Jane 90 is to reduce the shipping costs as the box was simply too large.

Shipping Weights

This is often where most people arrive when choosing between Louët floor looms: The Spring or the David? Why choose one over the other?

As previously noted, these two looms share much of the same structure and frame. The back beam, beater, warp and cloth beams, and brake system are all identical between the David and the Spring.

In our opinion, the differences come down to:

• Price

• Number of shafts

• Tie-ups

• The weight and feel of treadling

The David loom is less expensive than the Spring—that is simply a fact. The Spring offers up to 12 shafts, while the David maxes out at 8.

The countermarch system of the Spring requires tying every shaft to every treadle. The David, being a jack loom (with a sinking jack style), requires tie-ups only for the shafts that need to be lifted or lowered. In general, this means the David requires approximately half as many tie-ups as the Spring.

The weight and feel of treadling is difficult to convey in words—you really need to experience it. But here is an attempt:

Imagine stretching the spring on a screen door—though lighter than that, it gives you a reference. On the David, each treadle is connected to one of these springs, so when you press a treadle, you begin by stretching that spring.

On the Spring loom, you are only moving the weight of the shafts, assisted by cords running over ball-bearing pulleys. There is very little resistance.

Treadling on the Spring is lighter. However, as mentioned earlier, treadling on the David is not heavy—just different.

We hope this helps :)

The David loom assembly requires that you adjust and set your harness heights yourself. Louët provides fixed height positions for shafts 1 and 8, and the remaining shafts must slope evenly between them.

All Texsolv cords used to attach your shaft bars are carefully measured and installed at the factory. Always attach the shaft bars to the last usable loop of each Texsolv cord. This is important—using any other loop will make it much more difficult to achieve correct shaft heights. Louët supplies detailed information on Texsolv cords.

If you are experiencing a split shed—where some warp threads sit slightly higher or lower than the rest—you will need to adjust your harness heights, most likely between shafts 2–7.

Shaft heights are adjusted at the lam, where the Texsolv cord connects to an eye bolt secured with two nuts. Only the lower nut is functionally required; the upper nut is used only for shipping. Louët sets an approximate starting position using a jig so that most shafts begin close to the correct height.

Bottom shaft bars must always be attached to the last usable loop. Do not attempt to adjust shaft height by moving the shaft bar to the second or third usable loop.

How to adjust harness height – Loosen the top nut so it is out of the way. Raise or lower the bottom nut to adjust the height.

• Lowering the nut lowers the shaft bar

• Raising the nut raises the shaft bar

Adjust each shaft so it follows the correct, even slope from back to front.

This process can be tedious but getting it right the first time will save significant frustration later. Attention to detail is essential at this stage.

Here is an excellent article and video that shows, in detail, how to adjust your harnesses.

During threading, sleying and tie-up, we recommend that you have the blocking pin inserted. If not, harness position varies and makes the job difficult, if not impossible.

When winding your warp, you need to release the brake tension. You can do this by unscrewing the brake tension nut.

If this does not release your brake sufficiently or if you do not want to mess with the tension nut, here is another way.

Take a piece of texsolv cord and a texsolv peg. Put the end of the cord through the last loop and put the peg through an end loop so you have created a solid large loop.

Place the loop over the brake and also over the top of the castle frame. Adjust the loop size so that it hold the brake up sufficiently to release the brake. Keep a little tension on the warp beam so that the beam does not unwind while you are winfing on your warp.

Remove your cloth beam, beater and breast beam during threading. This allows you to get inside your loom, nice and close to the castle.

Shaft cord knot - One of the most common mistakes when assembling the Jane loom is making an incorrect knot when connecting the shaft cord to the shaft end. The result will be a knot that slips and Shafts that slip downward with use, which results in a poor shed. Here is a link to Louët 's Support article and a short video to help.

Louët's Jane knot Support article

Optimal Shaft Height - This got a little trickier when Louet released their shuttle race. With the shuttle race attached, the original loom is too low to a table to allow it to fold correctly. Louet solved this by making the legs longer on all Jane looms. However, the manual still said to set the shaft height to 22.5cm from the table.

That height doesn't work.

The recommendation is to set the shafts just above the bottom rollers. If shafts are too high, you will reduce your shed size.

Each shaft and lam is suspended on one continuous length of Texsolv cord. Each cord runs over a series of six pulleys to allow smooth vertical movement—no lateral resistance, just clean up-and-down action. To enhance this even further, Louët equips every pulley with a sealed, lifetime-lubricated ball bearing. These bearings do not wear out, and they allow every cord to glide effortlessly.

The other reason for the Spring’s light treadling is that the countermarche system does not require the weaver to hold significant weight on an open shed, unlike a jack loom. The mechanics of the parallel countermarche use gravity and the weight of the lower lams to counterbalance the upper lams and shafts. Texsolv heddles contribute virtually no additional weight.

The result is an effortless treadle action.

The David loom is available in 70 cm (27.5"), 90cm (35.5”) or 110cm (43.5”) weaving widths. They are referred to as David 70, David 90 or David 110. The David comes with 8 shafts only.

Assembled dimensions:

David 70: 104 x 87 x120 cm, (40 7/8 x 34 ¼ 1/4” x 47”)

David 90: 124 x 87 x120 cm, (48 1/2” x 34 ¼ 1/4” x 47”)

David 110: 144 x 87 x120 cm, (57” x 34 ¼ 1/4” x 47” )

Assembled weights:

David 70: 40 kg (88 lb)

David 90: 44 kg (98 lb)

David 110: 48 kg (108 lb)

The David loom ships in 3 boxes

Box A is heavy at 45lbs and contains most of wood frame sides and all hardware bags. It’s shipping dimensions are approximately 40” x 12” x 5”

Box B is the castle and is the largest box at 36” x 12” x 10” for the 70cm model, 43” x 12” x 10” for the 90cm model and 52” x 12” x 10” for the 110 cm model. Shipping weights are 34-40lb, depending on 70/90/110 width.

Box C contains the width dependent wooden parts – warp beam, breast beam, etc. Shipping weight is between 30-40 lb. and dimension is 53” x 12” x 5”

The David 3 breast beam is 29 1/4" from the floor to the bottom of the beam.

On the Louet Megado, you can weave with the built-in function or drive the dobby with TempoWeave. This video shows weaving with TempoWeave.

When winding your warp, you need to release the brake tension. You can do this by unscrewing the brake tension nut. (Image shown is the Spring 2, however, the brake system on the David 3 is the same.)

If this does not release your brake sufficiently or if you do not want to mess with the tension nut, here is another way.

Take a piece of texsolv cord and a texsolv peg. Put the end of the cord through the last loop and put the peg through an end loop so you have created a solid large loop.

Place the loop over the brake and also over the top of the castle frame. Adjust the loop size so that it hold the brake up sufficiently to release the brake. Keep a little tension on the warp beam so that the beam does not unwind while you are winfing on your warp.

Remove your cloth beam, beater and breast beam during threading. This allows you to get inside your loom, nice and close to the castle.

The Spring loom is a parallel countermarche weaving loom. An important part to understand is that all shafts and lams will always remain parallel to each other during operation.

Why choose a Spring loom? If you want an excellent shed—every time—and exceptionally light treadling, these are the two primary reasons to choose a Louët Spring loom. The woodworking and finishing on Louët looms are among the finest in the industry, and the clean, modern aesthetic is distinct. For many weavers, this craftsmanship and the engineering is an important part of choosing a Louët loom.

LoftyFibers TempoTreadle is an excellent addition to ensure you select the right treadle, every time. See more about TempoTreadle here.

The above video shows how to change colors by cutting the current color, and tying a knot with the new color.

When frequently alternating two colors, see this video for a technique to avoid tying each color change:

Just a demo of weaving on the Spring! The weaver is using the TempoTreadle system on the Spring to track progress and ensure there are no treadling mistakes.

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.

By using LoftyFiber products or services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

We may collect:

• Name

The David 1 was the original David loom—compact in size yet packed with advanced features. Named David after the biblical tale of David and Goliath, the loom embodies the idea of being small but mighty.

The only difference between the David 1 and David 2 is the beater.

• The David 1 featured an overhead beater.

• The David 2 introduced a sliding beater, which also incorporated a popular shuttle race.

The David 3 redesigned the beater once more, moving to a floor-hinged system. Its construction and frame size were updated, making the David 3 heavier and sturdier than its predecessors.

Bench - The Louët loom bench is 22.5" tall and is not adjustable. It is simply a well sized loom bench, with no added attachments or functionality. It is the Louët recommended bench for the Spring, David and Jane looms.

Sectional warping kit - This is an attachment to your main warp beam. The kit contains for wooden slats that screw onto your beam. You also get metal clips that fit into the pre-drilled holes of the slats. These clips are spaced every inch or leave out every other clip, and you have 2-inch sections. This product is common for The Spring 2, David 3, Megado and Octado looms.

2nd Warp beam - The 2nd warpbeam fits below the main beam of the back beam section. You can see the image below showing the beam in place. The ratchet brake system has a manual release so you will have to get up and release the brake on each warp advance.

When your loom is set up, and likely before you put a warp on, you may want to remove the blocking pin to see what happens. What you will notice is that all your shafts will drop. This is one of the most common areas of concern and generates many questions.

Do not worry—this is normal and expected behavior.

Before removing the blocking pin, take a close look at your loom. On each side, you will see an inner Texsolv cord and an outer cord. You’ll also notice that the two shaft bars and the upper lam bar are attached to the outer cord, while only the lower lam bar is connected to the inner cord. This creates a natural weight imbalance, and gravity does the rest. The three bars connected to the outer cord outweigh the single bar on the inner cord, causing the shafts to drop.

How does this change once you begin weaving? First, with a warp on the loom, the shafts cannot drop lower than the plane of the warp threads. Second, once you tie up your treadles, the weight imbalance begins to reduce. Additional factors include warp density, warp tension, the number of shafts tied up, the number of treadles tied up, the weight of the harnesses (one shaft bar may be slightly heavier or lighter than another), and the width of your warp.

If you are weaving with 8 or more shafts across the full weaving width and have 10 treadles tied up, you will see that the harnesses drop very little, if at all.

Always keep in mind that the Spring is a countermarch loom

The Louet Spring is a parallel countermarch loom. This shed is opened by moving both the upper and lower threads. This provides more even tension on the warp ends, improving the tension and ease of weaving, especially for non-elastic yarns like linen.

The Spring, as with other countermarch looms, has upper and lower lamms. The upper lamms require longer tie-up cords to reach the treadle; likewise the lower lamms have the shorter tie-up cords.

Each treadle has a tie-up hooked to a screw that corresponds to the shaft. Shown in the above video is an 8-shaft Spring. For each treadle used, all 8 screws will have a tie attached. If the longer cord is attached (upper lamm), then the corresponding shaft will rise when the treadle is pressed. If the shorter cord is attached, the shaft will lower when the treadle is pressed.

If an error is made when tying a treadle such that a single shaft is connected to the treadle with both it's upper and lower tie-up cord, then the treadle will be locked and is not able to be pressed.

Either write-out, or produce a printout from TempoWeave of the tie-up for each treadle to take to the back of the loom. It helps to lthe upper ties and lower ties for each treadle.

It generally is faster to unhook all ties from the previous tie-up, push all the ties to the right for the treadles right of center, and left for the treadles left of center.

As shown in the video, start tieing up one of the center treadles. Notice that the screws reverse direction on the two center treadles. Working your way out from the center allows easy management of the tie-up cords by sliding what is needed in place.

The Flying Dutchman shuttle is a unique design by Louët. The front guide bows outward to give you a better angle of your yarn as it leaves the bobbin. a sharper angle (when the guide is flat ) often yarn gets caught on the ends of the bobbin as it unwinds. This never happens with the LouëtFlying Dutchman shuttle.

The Spring loom ships in 3 boxes

Box A is heavy at 45lbs and contains most of wood frame sides and all hardware bags. It’s shipping dimensions are approximately 40” x 12” x 5”

Box B is the castle and is the largest box at 45” x 14” x 14” for the 90cm model and 52” x 14” x 14” for the 110 cm model. Shipping weights are 40-48lb, depending on 90/110 width and 8/12 shaft choices

Below you will find some general information about Texsolv cord provided by Louët.

Your tie-up cords must all be the same length. These cords determine how far your lams will move. If even one cord is longer than the others, the lam attached to that cord will move less, which can create a split shed or other shed irregularities.

It is always recommended to attach tie-up cords with the blocking pin in place. The supplied cords should already be equal in length, and you should attach each cord to the screw head using the last usable loop.

Once all tie-up cords are attached and the blocking pin is in place, look at the cords. Ensure they all hang straight down. If a cord angles toward another treadle, slide it so the cord rests in the indentation of the lam directly above the treadle it is tied to.

If any cords show significant slack, then your cord lengths are not equal. In this case, move that cord to the second usable loop. The cords do not need to be tight—just not overly loose or “loopy.” When shifting to the second loop, ensure you are not pulling the lam downward, as this will also cause shed problems.

Texsolv loops are spaced 12 mm apart (approximately ½"). Therefore, the amount of slack you are correcting must be greater than 12 mm for the second loop to make a meaningful difference.

New weavers often start with a table loom. It can be confusing at first to understand how to read a tie-up and translate that into the levers that should be toggled to lift the shafts! This video helps explain how to read a tie-up, explains the difference in a tie-up and liftplan, and goes over some of the basics of reading a draft.

This video shows a technique to change alternating colors while winding a warp without the need to cut and tie the ends together. This technique works when color changes occur at the starting peg, not the turning peg near the cross. The following video was taken when winding a warp chain for the scarf pattern, "Deflections and Reflections".

The same technique as shown in the video above can be used when frequently alternating three colors in the warp chain. The following picture was taken when weaving the "Picket Fence Towels". There were three colors frequently changing, and three unused pegs on the warping board were used to "dock" the colors not currently being used by wrapping several times to maintain tension.

If using a warping reel, depending o the manufacturer, extra dowels for docking may not be available. In this situation, a color can be wrapped several times around the starting peg to maintain tension. The warp chain will occupy a little more space on the dowel in this situation, but the extra length by the threads secured in this manner will not cause an issue. The choke tie that is placed near the starting peg will keep those ends together until they are eventually cut evenly near the choke tie for threading.

A Dent is a space in the reed. An 8-dent reed has 8 spaces in an inch. Often you can achieve similar or identical spacing with different reeds. These charts will help you find a way to spread the warp close to a specified ends per inch or centimeter.

If you have metric reeds, see the next entry for metric sett charts.

PDF Sett charts are found below. The following example is from the 12 DPI chart. If you were looking to get for a reed to acheive a sett of 28 EPI, for example, you can see that you can alternate putting 2 warp ends in a dent with 3 warp ends in the next.

When you see a 0 on this chart, such as beside the 8 EPI the sleying pattern is 0-1-1, this means to skip a dent, then put a thread in the next dent, then in the 3rd dent, then start the pattern again by skipping the next dent.

In the sett charts below, there is also an ends per centimeter table (Warp EPCM). If you are using a pattern written in metric and have english reeds, this chart is helpful.

Other positive features are:

• Sound – very quiet operation

• Market tested for over 35 years

• Floating Breast Beam system

• Made of solid beech

• Finished with 2 coats of water based clear lacquer

The Spring loom is very quiet to operate, due to the aforementioned ball bearings and light weight texsolv heddles. The Spring loom has been on the market since the 1990’s and the mechanics and function of the Spring loom has never changed. In 2018, the Spring 2 was introduced adding some structural improvements, weight and frame stability, but most of the improvements were made for improved manufacturing efficiency. The patented floating breast beam system is a standard feature of the Louët Spring loom and is explained in detail, later in this document series.

Your Spring will come standard with the following:

• 2 lease sticks

• 16 warp divider sticks

• 2 apron rods (wooden)

• 800 heddles (8 shaft) / 1200 heddles (12 shaft)

Louët Warping Mill

This warping mill is a vertical mill that runs very smoothly on 2 large ball bearing rings. it folds flat, one of its best features since none of us have enough space!

The Louet Race is a big help for throwing the shuttle on the Jane table looms. However there are some considerations.

When all the levers are up (closed shed), the race should be positioned so the warp threads just touch — or come very close to touching — the race.

On Jane 16-shaft looms, it’s common to have the race set in the highest position so that the threads only just graze the race.

If you can’t get the warp ends close to the race when at rest, check the following:

1. Make sure the warp tension is not overly tight.

2. Adjust the shafts according to the Jane assembly instructions or video.

The race limits how far you can weave before advancing the warp. After advancing, we aim to have the fell line about 5 inches from the edge of the front beam. If it is set any farther back, the race pushes against the cloth, making it difficult or impossible to beat the weft into place. After weaving has progressed to about 7-inches from the edge of the front beam, the warp needs to be advanced.

When a shed is opened, the lower threads will raise slightly. The distance from the race will vary depending on the where the fell line falls. The picture below shows the threads a little higher than best case, so it's time to advance the warp. Note there is a floating selvage at the edge.

The shuttle is shown entering the shed that was shown on the prior picture. The shuttle pushes down the lower threads as it slides across the race; the tip of the shuttle is higher than the lowest threads, and the bottom is sloped such that any threads on the bottom shed are pressed down. For wide warps, the shuttle can be thrown safely across the race.

The Flying Dutchman and Schacht 11-inch Slim shuttles work well for us on the 16-shaft Jane with the race. However, when testing with the Schacht Mini Boat Shuttle, we found it did not work well.

Some shuttles may not be suitable for weaving on a table loom with a race. For example, very light shuttles, or those where the point on the end sits low enough to capture threads that aren't sitting flat, are not good candidates. In the following picture, a light weight shuttle isn't heavy enough to pull down the lower warp threads on this warp.

If you order a Spring loom, the loom is adjusted to the correct harness positions ate the factory. We do not recommend adjusting harness heights on a new loom until such time as you have contacted Louët support and are instructed to do so.

Here is a link to the Assembly video, assembly instruction manual and an operating guide for the Spring loom, all provided by Louët.

Why might you need to adjust harness heights?

If you find that your shed is split—meaning the upper or lower shed is uneven and some threads sit slightly higher or lower than others—this usually indicates that one or more lams are not reaching or holding the correct height relative to the rest.

Before adjusting anything, check each shaft to ensure no heddle has slipped off the end and is catching.

Begin by inserting the blocking pin. Examine the upper and lower lams: they should slope gently downward from back to front, and they should all follow this same even slope. Adjust any lams that do not align with this profile. Once finished, remove the blocking pin and open a shed using the same treadle. Has the shed improved? If not, continue below.

For a split upper shed – Identify a warp thread sitting lower than the surrounding threads. Determine which shaft controls that thread and note the shaft number. Look for any other shafts that appear too low.

Insert the blocking pin. In this case, you will need to raise the upper lam for that specific shaft. The upper lams should slope downward from back to front; adjust the lam upward to compensate.

Remove the blocking pin and press the same treadle to check the shed again. Has the split improved? Repeat as needed.

If you determine that your harness and lam heights require more detailed adjustment, follow these steps:

Insert the blocking pin. Always, always, always.

Look at your harnesses and lams. Use a level to check that they are horizontal.

Adjust as needed.

Adjusting shafts can be done in two ways:

1. Fine adjustments – Turn the white knurled nut.

   • Unscrew to raise the shaft

   • Screw in to lower the shaft This method adjusts height by approximately 5–8 mm.

2. Larger adjustments – Remove the shaft-end bolt from the Texsolv cord and reinsert it into a loop that is higher or lower (or several loops, if needed).

A helpful trick for large adjustments is to loosen the cord first:

• Disconnect the side of the shaft or lam bar you need to adjust. It simply snaps in and out.

• Note the current position of the shaft-end bolt (leave it in place for now; no need to mark the cord).

• Go to the top of the castle and remove the shelf.

• Identify the Texsolv cord for the shaft you are adjusting.

The David 3 loom is an 8-shaft sinking jack loom. This means the shafts are pulled downward rather than lifted upward. There is a specific difference in tie-up for this type of loom, but we will cover that later in these articles.

LoftyFibers TempoTreadle is an excellent addition to ensure you select the right treadle , every time. See more about TempoTreadle here.

Why choose a David 3 loom?

The David and Spring looms share the same frame structure. In fact, the beater system, breast beam, warp and cloth beams, the entire back-beam assembly, the brake drum and handle, and the footrail are all interchangeable between these looms.

The unique feature of the David loom is the cam and spring system built into the castle of every David model. The cam is a mechanical device that assists in holding your shed open—a significant advantage for a jack loom and a major ergonomic benefit for the David.

On a traditional jack loom, you pull all shafts in one direction—typically upwards. As you lift the shafts, you stretch the warp threads vertically to form the shed. Physics tells us that the higher the shafts are lifted, the more the warp is stretched and the more force is required. The required force increases exponentially as you press the treadle deeper. You are also lifting the weight of the shafts and heddles. Holding a shed open on most jack looms can be heavy work—great for your legs, but tough on knees and hips.

On the David loom, when you begin pressing a treadle, you are still stretching your yarn and extending the spring attached to each shaft under the shelf. However, about halfway through the treadle stroke, the cam “tips over” and its mechanical advantage begins supporting the forces needed to hold the shed open. This means the last half of the treadle stroke is easy, and holding the shed open requires very little effort—you are no longer bearing the full weight of the system.

While the initial push of each treadle is not what we would call “light,” the overall treadling experience on a David loom is light when you consider the full motion.

In short, the choice of a David 3 loom comes down to ergonomics, engineering, efficient use of space, and a lower price point compared to the Spring—delivering a lot of loom in a compact footprint.
