The Louet David III is an 8 shaft floor loom with a sinking whose footprint is small, but functionality surpasses many a large loom. Named after the biblical story of David and Goliath, the David loom is small, but mighty. Available in 70, 90 or 110 cm weaving widths. The warp beam can be folded after which the depth of the folded loom is 34”. Re-designed in 2021, this version of the David III has a sturdier frame and beams, a standing beater and an improved brake system.
The tie up of single treadle system with pre-applied cords requires little effort and also operating the treadles is very light. Thanks to an ingenious spring system, the shed is about 5 cm high and the warp thread tension is the same on the upper and lower parts.
David is made of lacquered beech wood. It is delivered partially assembled.
Included are a built-in raddle with raddle covers, stainless steel reed 40-10 (10 dpi), 800 Texsolv heddles (280 mm), 2 lease sticks and 2 apron sticks and 16 warp sticks.
