Liisa is a sturdy, traditional Scandinavian countermarch loom built from Finnish birch. Its joints are pegged and held with birch wedges, so it goes together easily and stays solid. It's strong enough for a steady run of rugs, yet gentle enough for sheer, transparent fabrics.
Features
- Standing beater as standard; a hanging beater can be substituted for an additional cost
- Cogwheel brake and warp advance, so setting the tension just right is easy
- Large side opening for easy access to the warp and the tie-up
- The warp beam and its holders lift out without taking the loom apart
- 4, 8 or 12 shafts, normally with a matching number of treadles
- Optional extras: a double warp beam with back beam, a fly-shuttle device, or a later upgrade to Toika's ES computer-assist system
What's included
TempoWeave Studio weaving design software, an adjustable loom bench, 100 heddles per shaft, and pre-cut Texsolv tie-up cords with pegs.
