{"product_id":"toika-liisa-computer-assist-loom","title":"Toika Liisa Computer-Assist Loom","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeave with up to 32 shafts using one foot pedal. Toika's ES computer-assist system replaces the treadles, lamms and jacks of a traditional floor loom with a single pedal, while your computer chooses which shafts rise for each pick. Lifting large numbers of shafts takes no physical effort, which would be impractical on a manual loom. With no tie-up to set or treadling sequence to remember, those errors all but disappear, and you have more time for designing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the ES system works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour computer chooses the shafts.\u003c\/strong\u003e You draft in TempoWeave Studio (included) on a Mac, Windows or Linux computer.
