Louet Octado weaving loom

The Octado is an 8-shaft dobby loom in Louet's dobby collection and is especially attractive for people who find weaving on 8 shafts sufficient, but prefer not to have to deal with tying up treadles.

Dobby looms have a programmable shaft selector. They are different from the looms used in industry because preparing the warp and weaving requires the same process as other handlooms. The only thing the dobby does is select the frames. You can choose between a mechanical or electronic dobby system.

The electronic interface allows you to achieve almost unlimited frame combinations using the built-in Louet web interface software or a computer and third-party software from Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, Weavemaker, Weave It, WeavePoint, Winweef or Pro Weave, which work with the Louet electronic interface.

It is available in 3 weaving widths: 70, 90 or 110 cm.
