Spring II loom
The Spring I and  Spring 11 loom 
  •  Both are great for weaving fabric, scarves and wraps. Spring II is now sufficiently robust for floor rugs, with a heavier wood used in the frame
  • comes as 90 cm (35 3/8") and 110 cm (43 1/4") weaving width
  • can be 8 shafts or 12 shafts, with an extension kit of 4 shafts available to add to your 8 shaft loom later.
  • is a parallel countermarche loom 
  • is very light to treadle, each treadle requires a similar effort no matter what its position across the loom
  • there is no clashing of lams as the lams are parallel  to the shaft bars, and extend across the width of the loom
  • has a great shed, and both the upper and lower threads are tight when the shed is open
  • has a shuttle race.
  • threading is easy as the breast beam and beater are removable and you can sit really close to the heddles to thread
  • although it is a countermarche loom and each shaft needs to be tied to fall or to rise for each shed, tie-up is easy... all the texsolv cord is pre-cut and the screws in the pedals are sloped so that the shed is great for all tie-ups... no real thinking or making adjustments  to cord length as on other countermarche looms
  • it has a frictional brake on the warp beam, enabling you to advance the fabric sitting at your loom.  There is a ratchet and pawl on the cloth beam, making warp tension adjustment or moving the warp forward, easy
  • The beater is adjustable in height.
  • The design includes a built in raddle on top of the castle and a storage shelf
  • the loom is made from lacquered beech.
  • moveable front beam for even warp tension control.
