TempoTreadle II for Louët David Looms | Advanced Weaving Sequence Tracking
The TempoTreadle II for Louët David looms is an electronic weaving assistance system designed to help weavers follow long weaving sequences on compatible Louët David floor looms.
Compatible with Louët David looms, the system helps improve weaving flow, reduce weaving errors and support better continuity during multi-shaft weaving projects.
TempoTreadle II becomes especially valuable on Louët David looms used for:
- complex weaving structures
- long repeats
- advanced 8 shaft weaving projects
- long weaving sequences that become mentally demanding to follow
The Louët David is recognized for offering an excellent balance between compact size, weaving comfort and performance. TempoTreadle II integrates naturally into this fluid and efficient weaving approach.
TempoTreadle II reads WIF files directly from a micro-SD card and automatically detects weaving sequences during weaving.
When the correct combination is detected:
- a sound signal confirms the sequence
- the system automatically advances to the next pick
- draft tracking becomes more fluid
If an error occurs, a different sound immediately alerts the weaver.
The result:
- fewer weaving errors
- better sequence tracking
- greater weaving fluidity
- a smoother experience during long repeats
- less mental fatigue caused by following the draft
Particularly useful for:
- long multi-shaft weaving sequences
- advanced technical weaving projects
- complex weaving structures
- long repeats
- 8 shaft weaving requiring fluidity and precision
The system becomes especially valuable on 8 shaft looms where long weaving sequences can quickly become mentally demanding to follow.

Compatible with Most Weaving Software
TempoTreadle II uses the standard WIF (Weaving Information File) format, compatible with most modern weaving software.
In most cases, simply export your weaving draft as a WIF file from your preferred weaving software.
This allows complex weaving sequences to be followed without requiring a computer directly beside the loom.
Weaving Without a Computer Beside the Loom
