A Full-Featured Floor Loom in a Compact, Foldable Design
Perfect for weavers who need a powerful loom in a limited space, the Leclerc Compact Floor Loom offers true floor loom functionality without taking up permanent studio space. Its solid maple construction, jack-style design, and foldable frame make it the ideal weaving companion for home studios, workshops, and traveling artists.
Why Choose the Leclerc Compact Loom?
Jack Loom Simplicity with Floor Loom Power
This jack-style loom uses a rising shed system, meaning shafts lift independently when you press a treadle. This design ensures smooth, easy treadling, making it perfect for both new and experienced weavers. Unlike counterbalance looms, no extra tie-ups are needed to lower shafts, allowing for greater flexibility in pattern weaving.
Space-Saving & Portable
Designed for small spaces, this loom folds down to just 21” deep without disturbing your warp. Weighing about 72 lbs., it features built-in wheels for easy movement—perfect for weavers who need to store their loom when not in use or transport it to classes.
4 Shafts Now, Expandable to 8 Later
Start with 4 shafts and 6 treadles, with the ability to expand to 8 shafts and 10 treadles as your skills grow. This future-proof design lets you explore complex weave structures without needing a new loom.
Weave Comfortably & Efficiently
- Rising Shed Jack System – Independent shaft movement for smooth, effortless weaving.
- Treadle-Operated Shed – Weave faster and more efficiently with floor loom power.
- Adjustable Beater Height – Ensures a clear shed and even beating.
- Smooth Treadling Action – Tie-up system allows pressing one treadle to lift multiple shafts.
Perfect Tension Every Time
The friction brake system and foot-operated release let you adjust warp tension with ease, so you can focus on weaving instead of troubleshooting.
Built to Last
Handcrafted from Canadian hard maple, this loom is durable enough for generations of weaving. The solid frame and metal parts ensure long-term stability, even with high warp tension and frequent use.
