My weaving arsenal

Say hello to your Louet 8-shaft parallel contramarche floor loom—essentially the luxury sports car of the weaving world, engineered with a healthy dose of brilliant Dutch design!.

I use threading hook and clamps to bring the warp threads through the openings in the reed, i.e. the big comb-like frame in the front which is part of the beater. For weaving, I use a shuttle with rolling wheels underneath.

Before your wheeled shuttle can go drag-racing across the loom, it needs its secret weapon: a perfectly packed, bite-sized bobbin spun up fresh on this yarn winder!
