Leclerc Mira II Floor Loom

The Mira II is the updated version of the original Leclerc workhorse made for almost a century! This 4-shaft counterbalance loom is perfect for those weavers producing everything from delicate fabrics to high-tension weaving projects like rugs and everything in between. It is the perfect four-shaft loom for any weaver who wishes the stability this sturdy, rigid frame loom offers. Available in 36, 45 and 60-inch weaving widths, the Mira II also includes Leclerc's exclusive Shed Regulator technology which allows the weaver to switch from balanced to unbalanced weaves with a minimum of adjustment.

Because the loom utilizes a fixed frame design, the Mira II has a larger footprint (loom width x 36 1/2 inch depth) on the floor. This longer depth, solid hardwood construction and squared frame design give the loom stability when harder beating is required (ie. rug weaving). The loom is the perfect choice for high-volume applications like a commercial production studio or weaving classroom. A flying shuttle beater can be added to speed up production.

The counterbalance shed is wide and clean on every pick for the full range of 4-shaft weaves and the heavy-duty cloth beam ratchet mechanism and warp beam friction brake enable the weaver to put a high tension on the warp. Both the breast beams and the cloth beam can be easily removed in a few minutes and optional rakes can be added to the warp beam to turn it into a Sectional Warp Beam. A selection of benches and other accessories are also offered.
