Louët David 3 Loom

The compact 8-shaft floor loom from Louet

The further developed Louet David 3 is an 8-shaft floor loom from the Dutch manufacturer Louet with a large deep shed, which impresses with its compact and space-saving design. Despite its compact size, it surpasses many larger weaving machines in functionality: Thanks to the innovative cam design, the shed stays open for the weaver more easily and for longer than with any other jack loom. Thanks to its revised design, including a more stable frame and an improved brake, the new David III is a reliable partner for demanding weaving projects.
