An easy-to-use, travel table loom at a reasonable price.
The Louet Erica is a game changer in the world of weaving. The perfect next step for weavers who have been using a rigid heddle loom and want something a little more advanced, or weavers who want a compact table loom. I am personally very excited about offering this loom at Spin City!
Erica is a compact member of the Louet family that packs in all the features you love about a full-size loom in a small, portable footprint. The Erica is perfect for people learning to weave, those wanting to upgrade from a rigid-heddle loom or those that want to have the capabilities of a high-quality travel loom. Compared to a rigid-heddle loom, it is easier to operate, the warp tension is more even, it has a large shed of 4.5cm (1¾in) and you have flexibility in the number of threads per centimetre.
Starting as a two-shaft loom and expandable to four shafts, this is a terrific loom at a reasonable price. The warped loom folds flat, so you can easily take it to class or on holiday, or fold it for storage in a small space.
