Detailed Description

Louet's Megado is a countermarch loom with a dobby mechanism that controls which harnesses are lifted. The electronic dobby works in conjuction with weaving software from Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, Weavemaker, Weave It, WeavePoint, or Pro Weave to interpret your design and lift the correct combination of harnesses for each weft pick. Replacing the traditional treadle and lamm operation means that an infinite number of harness lifts is possible--you are no longer limited to the number of treadles that can fit under your loom. It also opens the door to a large number of harnesses. Block weaves and intricate twill combinations are a breeze! And there is no climbing under the loom to tie up treadles. A single treadle under the loom lifts the harness combination that the dobby box selects.

The Megado's major features:

  • constructed of lacquered ash hardwood
  • available with 16 or 32 harnesses
