If you do not have enough space for a Nilus II counterbalance loom, you may want to consider the Fanny II. It is easy to treadle, good for rug weaving and, like the Nilus II, incorporates Leclerc’s exclusive Shed Regulator.
All “Fanny II” model Looms incorporate Leclerc’s exclusive Shed Regulator. This unique mechanism provides a quick simple switch from balanced to unbalanced weaves with a minimum of adjustment, providing the same versatility as a Jack Loom but with the advantage of full control over top and bottom Shed openings offered by the Counterbalance design. The Counterbalance Shed is wide and clean on every pick over the full range of 4 Shaft weaves including the higher tension Rug designs.
For the full range of 4 Shaft Fabrics, the “FANNY II” is a great choice for price and performance.
