Big Loom Performance in a Compact, Space-Saving Design
The Leclerc Artisat Floor Loom delivers the capabilities of a full-size weaving loom in a foldable, space-saving frame. Designed for weavers who need a powerful, versatile loom without sacrificing their workspace, the Artisat provides smooth, effortless treadling and exceptional warp tension—all while folding neatly from both the front and back, even with a project in progress. Whether you're in a home studio, classroom, or shared space, this 36-inch, jack-type floor loom is built for serious weaving without the bulk.
Weave More, Struggle Less
Folds for Easy Storage Without Disturbing Your Warp
Need to reclaim your space between weaving sessions? The Artisat folds down to just 14" (4-shaft) or 17" (8-shaft) without affecting your project. Weighing less than many floor looms but sturdy enough for high-tension weaving, it’s perfect for home studios, workshops, and multi-purpose spaces.
Smooth Weaving with Back-Hinge Treadles
Effortlessly create multi-shaft designs with the new Artisat’s back-hinge treadle option. This innovative system ensures:
- Balanced shedding across all shafts for cleaner, more precise weaving.
- Smoother treadling with less foot strain, so you can weave comfortably for longer.
- Even tension for complex patterns, giving you total control over your fabric.
Versatile Weaving for Any Project
The Artisat supports a wide range of techniques, making it an excellent choice for weavers who want to experiment and grow their skills:
- Double Weave – Create layered fabrics and reversible designs.
- Bronson Lace & Leno Weave – Add texture and intricate openwork patterns.
- Sectional Warping Compatibility – Convert the plain beam for sectional warping.
- Fine to Heavy Fabrics – Weave everything from delicate linens to sturdy rugs with perfect tension and a clear shed.
Quick & Easy Tie-Ups for Fast Pattern Changes
The Artisat’s time-saving tie-up system allows for quick adjustments without tedious knot-tying. Pre-measured cords and quick-release hooks mean you can change your treadle setup effortlessly, keeping your focus on weaving instead of loom adjustments.
