Louet Spring Loom Warping Demonstration and Features

[@janineblackburn15]

You’ve sold me on the loom. Love your calm, gentle style with that touch of humor.

[@pynesneedleandstudio]

I am in the early stages of exploring floor loom options and have been able to quickly narrow my preferences to Louet and the Spring II loom. The ease of treadling is a top priority for me as well as the overall mastery of engineering that appears to have made the process of using the Spring II so clear and simple. Now I need to find one to try out in person as I save for my purchase.

She is so exact checking out all things when she start this going it’s going to work perfectly. She is an excellent teacher.

[@sidhepro]

This video was the reason I paid to subscribe to your online classes and continue to do so (even though I"m not weaving as much currently).

[@jwstanley2645]

Thank you so much for this video. I am a lead glazier (stained glass), and amateur oil painter. Yet, even though I am not a weaver, your demonstration fascinates the engineer and mechanic in me. I have not done any weaving since a single project in college some 40 years ago. Thus, even without seeing your finished work, I can imagine a huge range of patterns possible with 8 pattern shafts and 10 treadles. Wow! Even more, you present this in such a calm, peaceful, gentle way that warms the heart. You lead me to wish the world had a great many more weavers. Would that nations required their most-powerful leaders to spend four years of prep warping and weaving an eight-frame loom. Perhaps they would have a deeper sense to method, peace, detail, pattern in relationships, smoothness to life and life's work. Perhaps they would better understand how to find the groove and trust it, establish rhythms, and lead others to follow and trust. As well, one thing, sorry to be so long winded. While watching this video, I imagined thousands of women in previous generations doing this for daily work, then, a man who had several wives (in series as the earlier wives passed away) and learned to put her sense of detail, steadiness and pattern in his work as a church musician. Perhaps you've heard of J. S. Bach. Thank you, so very much for a video far more than a simple demo. You are amazing!

[@worksofhands]

I love everything in this tutorial. Very well explained. Also, in the background is a colourful wall of yarns.

[@susannepyle58]

Although I don't have a Louet loom, I have leaned so much from your tutorial. Many of your ideas on warping a loom will also work when I warp my loom. Your instruction was very clear. Thank you for being such a great teacher!

[@kyclemons79]

I just finished assembling a Louet David Loom. I am very excited to use it and feel that your excellent tutorial is applicable to my new loom in so many ways. Thank you very much for presenting the information in a clear and concise manner. You anticipated many of the questions I had and I learned so many little "tricks" to make it all easier. I look forward to seeing more tutorials from you in the future.

[@LionsLamb79]

Thank you for doing such an excellent job of explaing this loom, you have helped me make a well informed decision of which floor loom I will purchase. As well as relieving me of some anxiety about such a purchase, you have provided me with a reference to base my knowledge on.

[@adamakaru2683]

WOW thank you, so much I was watching you very carefully and learned a lot from you again thank you.

[@jonlilley2832]

Hi, Jane! Thank you for such a great demo! You've convinced me this is the loom I want. The Texsolv cording was the clincher - nothing to rust, clank around, get poked with or cut on! Absolutely genius! And everything is so quiet! I know I'm going to enjoy weaving on it.

[@Bee-ih5uy]

I"m a bit new to threading texsolv heddles, 38:18 makes a lot of sense as to how to thread them efficiently. Thank you!

[@angelikakonig2343]

Hi Jane, Thank,s a lot, you made the things right clear for me.I,m now be able to work my warp in a one woman show, and it was so much easier I`ll done before. For start weaving i buyed an old Lervard loom ,so many things are different and not so comfortabel but with this great tutorial it is now " just a blink with your eye"

[@sandramarshall7712]

GREAT TUTORIAL! You are a master I'm thinking. I'd take a course from you anytime! Thank you.

[@dianathefiberfan]

Jane, you did a wonderful tutorial. I’m sold on Louet Spring loom! I’m more of a beginner and want to get the Jane table loom first!

[@rainbowgal8047]

Excellent tutorial. I have an older Louet W70 and I usually warp front to back, but you've given me enough info to try your way. Thanks so much!

[@susanlayton6689]

Absolutely brilliant. So informative. Thank you.

[@argonwheatbelly637]

I love the almost-surgeon's knot for securing the cloth side of the warp. It's starts with a double overhand, but finishes like a grant, not a square. Good knot, that!

[@JB-co2lc]

Useful tips and tricks. Thanks.

[@dianathefiberfan]

Amazing video!! Thank you Jane!! I've watched your newer video with the Spring II that is available now, I can't wait to be able to buy it. QUESTION 1: Does Louet have a good table loom?? QUESTION 2: Where can I go online to see the looms you sale?

[@LouetWorldwide]

Hi Diana, You have contacted Louet directly - Jane Stafford made these videos for us many years ago. You can order from Jane her janestaffordtextiles.com/. The Jane table loom and Erica table looms are quite good - yes, The Jane loom was named after Jane Stafford as she helped improve our table loom.

[@o6662]

starting at 51:45, very helpful regarding final tensioning process.

[@loganpollock1689]

The old saying-'Two to tie on.' is certainly true.

[@sAandrYY]

The raddle is the only feature I don't fully like on my Spring. My warp threads tend to get caught in there. So I use a "simple" selfmade raddle with sections of 2cm. I much prefere to have my lease sticks at the loom front, followed be the raddle at the back. But otherwise this is the best loom I tried and owned so far. Hoping for a version that could be extended to 16 shafts in the future ;)

[@LouetWorldwide]

Hi! Thanks for your comment! Warp threads can get a bit tangled while winding on, so watch your warp preparation technique to minimize this issue. You should be able to minimize the tangle. The raddle has very smooth separations, but there are approx 5 per inch, so they are close together. Glad you are enjoying your loom!

[@Walt1960]

So cool. Can’t let my mc buddies know I watched this.

[@erikafirth972]

Just taken delivery of my Louet Spring II. Really clear and easy to follow - as always :) But there is one thing I'm confused about. When tying up (going to do an Overshot sampler), do I follow drafts for Rising or Sinking shed looms?

sinking shed

[@arvizuana5984]

Amazing video but I’m new in my spring and I don’t see how you attach the apron rod to the cords!!!!!!! Please could explain it ? Thank you!!

[@LouetWorldwide]

You attach with a 1/2 hitch knot

[@arvizuana5984]

Thank you! but if I would like to warp (i have the mills too) like that but I have a beam with separate cramps 1") I have the rattle too ..

[@LouetWorldwide]

Maybe you are talking about sectional warping? Currently we do not have a video to show sectional warping. Here is an article that has some information louet.zendesk.com/knowledge/articles/360050926134/en-us?brand_id=360004580634

[@mydogky]

love the spring loom but I wish Louet would give more room between the top lam there isn't enough room to comfortably tie that loom up I had to sell mine because of the tie up it was just too uncomfortable to do especially if doing 144 of the tie ups even on milk crates it was heavy to lift and unstable on them this is a major design fault

[@janegreer6990]

I just purchased a Spring loom and am curious that in the instructions it says to put the upper cords behind the corresponding lower lamm but in your video you say to put it in the front! Which is it?

[@LouetWorldwide]

Hi Jane! It looks like you've also been in contact with us over email, and we were able to address your questions. Feel free to reach out to us anytime :)

[@denisevoss2457]

@@LouetWorldwide Could you please post the answer as to which method is correct?

[@loftyfiber]

@@denisevoss2457 I think either way is fine, as long as you are consistent.

Thank you 😊

[@WestAustralianadventures]

What about if you wish to use a flying shuttle can this be added onto this loom? How would this be done?

[@LouetWorldwide]

Yes, you can add a Fly Shuttle to the Spring loom!

[@spasamacanovic2012]

To mi se dopada kod nas se to zove po redosledu prvo snova je drugo navijanje na tkalački kolo treće uvesti niti u nite i brdo i tek tad početi tkati ili izradu platna

[@janegreer6990]

I am having a problem getting a nice big shed like you have. How can I adjust it?

[@LouetWorldwide]

Hi Jane! I think we've answered your question over email, but I'm replying here so others can see it! This sounds a lot like a Reed Height issue. Go to the bottom of the beater assembly - on the right and left sides, there is a pivot point - a screw in hinge. You need to screw these hinges in deeper so that the warp is resting roughly in the middle of the reed, before you depress a treadle. When you depress a treadle, the bottom shed should just touch the shuttle race. If the bottom shed pushes down on the shuttle race, adjust further. If the beater is sitting too high, you will see a bend in your warp threads immediately behind the beater as the threads are being stretched. This bend is reducing your shed.

Please explain “the Math” Thank you

[@MrBuzzzzz]

I's not math, it's tablature. The numbers represent the holes she is blowing into. A line from one letter to the next represents a slur. All instruments can use tablature
