{"product_id":"leclerc-nilus","title":"Leclerc Nilus","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLeclerc's compact jack loom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leclerc Nilus is a sturdy 4-shaft jack loom with a low castle. It was Leclerc's first jack loom and for a long time one of the best-known jack looms anywhere. It has been back in production since 1998. The shafts work independently, so the Nilus suits almost any yarn and weave structure. A friction brake keeps the warp tension even, and the front and back beams are removable. Folded, the 4-shaft version is only 63 cm deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNilus or Nilus II?\u003c\/strong\u003e Short on space, or on the shorter side?
