The Leclerc Compact loom is a jack loom with a 24 inch weaving width. It is a light, but solid floor loom, and easily movablele with your weaving attached, since it has wheels that engage when the loom is folded. This makes it ideal for workshops or if you have limited weaving space.
The Leclerc Compact is a great loom at a great price!
The Leclerc Compact floor loom is built as a 4 harness loom with room for 4 more (4 Now 4 Later) with six treadles for easy tie-up, and can be converted into an 8 shaft loom. Just add 4 shafts (and 4 treadles) later. This built-in option alone costs extra if you order other similar brand looms. Or choose the 8 harness version with with ten treadles, so you have all the pattern freedom now.
Leclerc has enhanced the Compact Floor Loom with a set of 4 wheels to make moving the loom easier. The wheels are mounted on the feet allowing the loom to be easily moved simply by folding up the loom. When all four legs of the loom are sitting on the floor, the wheels are raised off the ground so that the loom will not roll when weaving.
Leclerc Floor looms are shipped as kits. Assembly is simple with both written and video instructions included as well as the required tools.
The Leclerc Compact floor loom is made of selected, well-seasoned, kiln dried Canadian hard
