TABLE LOOMS

• Leclerc Dorothy Table Loom
• Louet Kombo Table Loom
• Leclec Voyageur Table Loom
• Schacht Table Loom
• Ashford Table Loom

Table looms offer some advantages for the weaver not found in other looms. They are designed to take up less space but can offer 4, 8 or 12-shafts for very complex weaving. This means they are great for a first time weaver, just getting their feet wet, but can address the needs of an experienced weaver wishing for a sample loom. While they can be table looms with hand operated "treadles," some can be set up with a special table that permits some foot treadles. Many fold and thus are easy to transport to gathering or to store out of the way. How you weave on a table loom is nearly identical to a floor loom, so starting out with this type of loom is a good way to learn to weave but at a much lower cost than a floor loom

We have a page on selecting a loom. If you have questions you might want to start there.

Remember, FREE shipping in the continental US for all table and floor looms.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED WITH A TABLE LOOM:

- 2 or more boat or other shuttles
- 12 or more bobbins for boat shuttles
- reed hook and heddle hook
- warping board and raddle
- book (“Learning to Weave”) and videos ( “Intro to Weaving” and “Beginning 4-harness Weaving” )
Nice to have items - in rank order:
1. bobbin winder;
2. a variety of shuttles, extra reeds, swift and ballwinder if your yarn comes in skeins, fringe twister, temple;
3. yarn balance, magnifier, Ott light, auto reed hook or more harnesses.

LECLERC DIANA 24" 16 SHAFT COMPU-DOBBY TABLE LOOM

This loom may be the best value on the market for a dobby loom with "more than the normal number of shafts." Complex weaving has never been easier. New from Leclerc, this 16 shaft loom is designed to operate either as a table model or as a floor unit. As a table top unit the operator uses the single handle at the front of the loom, cycling up and down. With treadles and stand you use alternate treadles to cycle the loom. The interface box for this unit is self contained and does all the shaft selection for you based on the design you have set up in the program. It is designed to operate with future Leclerc computer units being designed for the Nilus, Nilus II, Nilart and Colonial looms. Supported by both Mac and PC software that is free and can be downloaded from Leclerc's site. This package includes galvanized steel reed (choose dent size below), 1,000 inserted eye heddles, one boat shuttle, one reed/heddle hook, 2 metal lease sticks, 2 beam sticks, instructions and a copy of "Warp and Weave." Optional swinging beater kit: $65.
