Spring 90
The Louet “Spring” loom is one of the most innovative cleverly
designed floor looms on the market today. It uses the Parallel
countermarch system for the harnesses and lams, which is easy to use
and simple to tie-up.

The advantages of this system are especially evident as you near the
end of the warp. Even when the end of the warp is very close to the
harnesses, a good shed can be made, thus saving yards and yards of
wasted warp over the life of your loom.

The moving breast beam also brings on exactly the same warp tension
each time the warp is advanced. The design of the loom includes a
built-in raddle on top of the castle and a storage shelf for keeping
everything you need within easy reach.

The Spring comes standard with 4 harnesses and 6 treadles, but gives
the possibility to expand, by sets of 4 harnesses, to a maximum of 12
harnesses.
The heddles and tie-up cords are of the Swedish Texsolv system that
make them quite strong and non-stretching. The spring has two
weaving widths 90 cm (36”) and 110 cm (44”). (See below). It comes
standard with four harnesses, six treadles, 600 Texsolv heddles
(Spring 90) and 800 Texsolv heddles (Spring 110), stainless steel reed
40-10 (10 e.p.i.) 12 cm (5”) inside height, friction brake, 2 lease sticks
and 16 warp sticks. The “Spring” is made of lacquered beech and
comes ready-to-assemble with clear instructions and tools.

Spring 110
The Spring 110 is identical to the Spring 90 in all things except it has a
wider weaving width. Upon special request, a 16 shaft version is
available.
