Expand the creative potential of your Louet Delta Floor Loom with the Second Warp Beam. This purpose-built accessory gives you independent control of two warp sets, enabling differential tension for techniques like double weave, seersucker, pique, turned overshot, and mixed-fiber warps—without compromising the Delta’s stability or shed quality.

Features & Benefits

• Independent differential tension: Maintain separate tensions on two warps—firm ground + looser supplementary warps—for crisper structures and cleaner cloth.
• Complex structures, simplified: Execute double weave, collapse effects, stitching warps, and tapestry-style fabrics with reliable control.
• Ratchet & pawl on the second beam: Smooth, repeatable advance independent of the main beam’s friction brake.
• Mix fibers with confidence: Combine linen, wool, cotton, or silk—even with different elasticity—without sacrificing pick consistency.
• Sectional-ready foundation: Serves as the base for Louet’s optional sectional warp kit for long warps and production-friendly beaming.
• Seamless integration: Engineered for the Delta’s hardwood frame and parallel countermarch geometry for stable, even sheds.

How It Works

• Main warp beam: Uses the Delta’s standard friction brake for precise primary tension.
• Second warp beam: Operates independently via its own ratchet & pawl mechanism (included).
• Two-step advance: Release/advance the second beam first, then advance the main beam—both tensions return predictably to your settings.

Specifications & Compatibility

This second warp beam is designed exclusively for the Louet Delta loom. Select the version that matches your weaving width.

Note: Sectional warping and heddles are not included and are sold separately.

• Precision fit and finish to match the Delta’s hardwood frame

FAQs

Why add a second warp beam?
It enables two independent tensions—crucial for layered structures, stitching warps, or combining fibers with different elasticity in one cloth.

Is it difficult to operate two beams?
No. Use a simple two-step advance: advance the second beam, then the main beam. Most weavers find it intuitive after a few repeats.

Will this fit my Delta loom?
Yes—choose the version that matches your loom’s weaving width: 110 cm or 130 cm.

Does this include sectional gear or heddles?
No. The second beam and its hardware are included; sectional equipment and heddles are purchased separately.

Will it change my shed quality?
No—the second beam integrates with the Delta’s parallel countermarch system to preserve clean, even sheds.

Conclusion

Transform your Louet Delta into a differential-tension workhorse. With the Second Warp Beam, you’ll unlock advanced structures, mix fibers with confidence, and achieve professional results across ambitious projects.
