The Magic loom comes with a stand; however, it is equipped with small rubber buffers (feet), attached on the bottom of the frame near the warpbeam and cloth beam. The floor loom can be converted into a table loom simply by removing two long bolts that connect the main frame to the stand. Once you have removed the bolts you can lift the loom off of the stand and place it on a table where it will rest on its “feet”. This very versatile feature allows the loom to act as a table loom while at a workshop, and a floor loom in your home.

In order to take your Magic loom to a workshop, you will have to fit it into your car. This could be difficult even without the stand. Fortunately, the front clothbeam and back warpbeam sections both fold upwards and can be fastened to the castle. In this ”ready for travel”, state, the 16” loom becomes a very portable 24" x 24” x 30”.

The Magic loom comes with a treadle, which is attached to the floor stand, to raise the shafts. In the scenario that you are operating the loom in the table configuration, there is a lever with a detachable handle that can be attached to raise the shafts. Both cloth and warp beams are tightened with a ratchet system. The same ratchets have proven reliable and effective over time since they are the same tensioning systems used on 4 of 5 of Louet’s other weaving loom models. The built in shelf is on top of the castle on the opposite side of the dobby head. This alllows you plenty of room to store shuttles, bobbins, scissors, etc.

Instead of the mechanical dobby you can choose the computer driven electronic dobby: The Magic Box. This electronic interface recognizes both PC and Macintosh inputs and allows unlimited design possibilities. Software is available from Fiberworks PCW, Patternland, PixieLoom, Weavemaker, Weave It and Pro weave. Call today to order yours!
