A sturdy, stable, and efficient loom

The Leclerc Nilus II 4-shaft is a jack-type floor loom designed to deliver strength, stability, and weaving comfort. Built with durability in mind, it is ideal for both professional weaving studios and passionate home weavers.

Thanks to its design, the Nilus II provides a perfect shed every time, regardless of tie-up, ensuring smooth and reliable weaving for any type of fabric.

Despite its power, this loom is compact: it folds to only 27½" (70 cm) deep, even with a warp in place, and its anti-tipping support leg provides excellent stability. It can also easily pass through a standard doorway, making it a practical choice for limited spaces.
