Louet Magic Loom Electronic Dobby

LOU-WA0147

Typically Ships In:
4 - 6 Months (Special Order Item)

The electronic dobby for the Louet Magic Loom will give you almost unlimited harness combinations using a computer and software from Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, Weavemaker, Weave It, WeavePoint or Pro Weave.

A dobby loom has a dobby mechanism, which is used to program the harness combinations for the weave pattern. Dobby is short for draw boywhich refers to the weaver's helper who was used to control the warp thread by pulling on draw threads. The dobby mechanism replaces the treadle/lam combination of the traditional floor looms. The performance of a multi-harness loom is vastly improved by using a dobby mechanism, as it overcomes the major problems associated with the use of a large number of treadles. A dobby loom allows you to select the combination of harnesses for every shed opening you wish to make. The great advantage of a dobby loom is that it avoids the necessity and the labor involved in making multiple tie-ups to treadle positioned underneath a loom. An investment in a Louet Dobby ensures many years of comfortable and productive weaving.
