Leclerc Colonial V2 Traditional Loom

Leclerc Colonial V2 Loom

A loom reminiscent of those our ancestors used, with many major improvements which makes this one of the best Leclerc looms ever produced. Its great adaptability allows it to be used as a general purpose loom, or for any specific purpose required by an inventive and creative weaver.  Made of the finest Canadian maple, it is finished with clear lacquer and varnish so that the beauty of the natural grain and color of the lumber remains visible. This loom can have 4, 8 or 12 shafts by adding one or two extra 4 shaft kits.  Because the jacks are in the loom castle, less pressure is needed to lift the shafts.  The overhead beater is optional.

The Colonial V2 traditional loom is available in 45″ and 60″ weaving widths – folds to depth of 33″ and can be converted into an 8 or 12 harness loom by adding one or two 4-extra harness kits. Comes with 12 styrene bobbins. Special optional attachments include overhead beater.  V2 improvements include wider and cleaner shed, Back Hinge Treadle is now lower in front for easier treading. Jacks now ride on bushings and NEW tie-ups system reduces the time for tie-ups and minimizes the occurrence of cord mix-up.
