TempoTreadle II V2 for Louët Jane Looms | Advanced Multi-Shaft Sequence Tracking
The TempoTreadle II V2 for Louët Jane looms is an electronic weaving assistance system designed to help weavers follow long weaving sequences on compatible Louët Jane multi-shaft looms.
The system is compatible with Louët Jane looms depending on the selected shaft count and weaving width.
TempoTreadle II becomes especially valuable on Louët Jane looms used for:
- complex weaving structures
- long repeats
- advanced multi-shaft projects
- weaving sequences that become difficult to track mentally
Compact and highly appreciated by advanced weavers, the Louët Jane is often used for technical weaving projects where sequence tracking becomes particularly important.
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
Particularly useful for:
- long multi-shaft weaving sequences
- advanced technical weaving projects
- complex weaving structures
- long repeats
- portable and compact multi-shaft weaving
The system becomes especially valuable on 8 and 16 shaft looms where long weaving sequences can quickly become mentally demanding to follow.
Understanding 8 and 16 Shaft Weaving
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
Why Many Weavers Appreciate TempoTreadle II
- helps follow long weaving sequences
- reduces weaving errors
- helps avoid losing your place in the draft
- improves weaving fluidity
- reduces mental fatigue caused by tracking repeats
- supports better continuity during weaving sessions
