Leclerc Artisat – 4 or 8 Shaft Floor Loom
A compact, quiet, and versatile loom
The Leclerc Artisat is a 36" (90 cm) floor loom designed for weavers who want a solid tool that doesn’t take up too much space. Compact and foldable both at the front and back (even with a project on the loom), it reduces to just 14" (36 cm) deep when folded.
Lightweight for easier moving, yet sturdy enough for demanding fabrics.
Key Features of the Artisat Loom
- Weaving width: 36" (90 cm)
- Compact and quiet → ideal for small spaces
- 6 treadles with the 4-shaft model, 10 treadles with the 8-shaft model (all tie-ups possible)
- Option to upgrade the 4-shaft loom to an 8-shaft loom with an additional kit
- Standard 2¾" (7 cm) beam, convertible to sectional beam (1" or 2" sections)
- Leclerc quality → renowned Canadian craftsmanship
Back-Hinge Treadle System: More Power and Comfort
Traditionally, jack looms are simple to use and easy to tie up, but often limited to a smaller shed beyond 4 shafts.
The Artisat’s new back-hinge treadle system solves this:
✔ Treadles anchored at the back → greater power to lift warp threads
✔ Rocker mechanism balances tension across all cords
✔ Clean, wide shed on all shafts
⚠️ Please note: because of the longer treadles, folding the loom is slightly more complex than with the front-hinge model.
