Louet Octado Dobby Loom

The Louet Octado loom is another great dobby weaving loom from Louet. The 8 Harness Octado has only one treadle and works with a mechanical or electronic dobby mechanism (you will have to purchase these separately), so even complicated pattern treadling is easy!

A dobby mechanism (programmable shaft selector) is an alternative for the tie-ups to the treadles on a standard weaving loom.

Because of this with a dobby loom, you can say good-bye to the tie-ups, there are none!

The Louet Octado loom has a similar operating methoddetail for octado loom like the larger Megado. This means a big countermarch weaving shed, and a very light treadling action. Again, easy on the weaver. A floating breast beam allows for exactly the same warp tension all the time. A built-in raddle makes warping super easy!

The Louet Octado Dobby loom can be operated with a mechanical dobby (shown above on loom) you just "peg" your patterns, shown above on loom, or with an electronic interface. (Your choice!)

The electronic interface works with most popular computer weaving software, including Fiberworks Pelectronic interface for octado loomCW, Patternland, Pixieloom, Weavemaker, Proweave and WeaveIt. Please note that you will need to purchase these separately and also will need a laptop or computer to weave on your Octado dobby loom

Choose from 70 cm, 90 cm and 110 cm weaving width (28", 36” and 44”) The castle (middle section) of the Octado loom (where all the shafts are) comes completely assembled. A detailed instruction manual will help you to complete the assembly without any problems.
