The Leclerc Nilus II Jack Loom is engineered for weavers who need a versatile, easy-to-use floor loom with modern advancements in shed formation and treadling comfort.

Featuring independent shafts guided by pegs on each side, this design prevents friction and provides a wide, clean shed for smooth shuttle movement, even in complex multi-shaft patterns.

Designed for Effortless Multi-Shaft Weaving

  • The top can be easily removed, allowing easy access to the shafts
    to add or remove heddles.
  • The front cloth beam and back thread beam are removable for easy threading, and the warp beam is also removable for outside beaming when required.
  • Available in 4-shaft and 8-shaft configurations with standard front hinge treadles – Provides a familiar feel for weavers transitioning from smaller looms.
  • Available in a new back-hinge treadles configuration (8-shaft model only, upgrade kits available for existing 4s and 8s Nilus II) – Improves treadling efficiency for multi-shaft weaving.
  • Jack loom design offers independent shaft lifting, making it ideal for complex weave structures.

Stability & Space-Saving Convenience

  • Folding feature allows the loom to collapse for compact storage while keeping the warp in place.
  • Constructed from solid Canadian maple hardwood for durability and long-term performance.
  • Non-slip polyvinyl foot pads enhance stability, even with high-tension warps.
