Things to consider
- The 50 and 70 cm looms are available with 8 shafts, expandable to 16 shafts or straight with 16 shafts. This is a unique feature for table looms with 16 shafts.
- There is no cord wear, since cords run over rollers and the overhead beater stays out of the way when throwing the shuttle.
- The Jane is the most compact 8+ shaft table loom on the market that folds easily. This makes weavers even more likely to choose the Louet Jane loom.
- . It will fit on the existing Jane floorstand.
- 2nd warpbeams for existing Jane looms will also fit the new 16 shaft Jane.
Jane 16 is available in the following sizes:
- 50 cm (20") and
- 70 cm (27 5/8")
- Jane 16 50: 67 x 87 x 65 cm / 10.5 kg - folded 21cm
- Jane 16 70: 87 x 87 x 65 cm / 13.5 kg- folded 21cm

The race can be added to all older 50cm and 70 cm Jane looms as an optional extra.
