Louet Megado Loom

For the weaver who wants to explore complex weaving, production weaving on a very comfortable looms. This innovative dobby loom is the flagship of the Louet family and our top-end dobby loom. The ease of complex weaving often comes as a surprise to even the most experienced weaver! The Megado is simple, easy to operate, and robust enough to handle all your projects. One long treadle is simpler and gives a tremendous mechanical advantage that allows a weaver to lift as many as 30 harnesses with ease. No other multi-harness loom treadles as light and creates as large a shed, even with a very high tension on the warp.

Our electronic Dobby uses wi-fi to connect with a tablet, smart phone or computer.   Operating software resides on the built-in computer to simplify weaving.   Design on your own software, save the wif file on a flash drive and load it onto the dobby.  Several software packages that work with the Megado interface include: Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, PixieLoom, Weavemaker, Proweave and Weave It. The Megado interface supports both PC and MacIntosh operating platforms. It’s a revolutionary system!
