Weaving should be as comfortable as it is creative. The Louët Delta Treadle Height Adjusting Set is designed specifically for the Delta floor loom to give weavers an ergonomic, body-friendly weaving position. By raising the treadles and footrest by 32 mm (1.25"), this accessory reduces leg strain, improves posture, and ensures hours of efficient treadling without discomfort. Whether you’re shorter in stature or simply want a more customized setup, this set helps your Delta work with your body.
Features & Benefits
- Delta-specific fit: Engineered exclusively for the Louët Delta for seamless installation and reliable performance.
- Raises treadles & footrest by 32 mm (1.25"): Creates a more natural leg angle so you can treadle with less effort and reduced fatigue.
- Complete coverage: Height-adjusting blocks for 14 treadles plus a matching footrest rail for uniform alignment.
- Ergonomic alignment: Helps keep knees below hips, stabilizing your torso and minimizing slumping or back strain during long sessions.
- Simple setup: Screws directly onto treadles and footrest; quick, straightforward upgrade.
Why Adjust Treadle Height?
Optimal treadling keeps your knees lower than your hips and your spine neutral. If your knees sit too high, lifting your legs to press the treadles becomes tiring—often leading to poor posture. Raising the treadles with this kit lets your leg extend more fully when pressing down, reducing muscle effort and strain so you can weave longer, comfortably.
What’s Included
- Height-adjusting blocks for 14 Delta treadles
- Matching footrest rail to maintain consistent height and alignment
- Mounting hardware and installation guidance
- Fixed lift amount: 32 mm (1.25") for both treadles and footrest
Installation & Setup Tips
- Start with your bench: First set your weaving bench to a comfortable height; if your knees still feel high or treadling strains your legs, install the kit.
- Countermarch friendly: Works perfectly with the Delta’s rear-slung countermarch treadles—once installed, treadles rest level when shafts are blocked.
- Pair for maximum comfort: Compatible with Louët’s adjustable/tilting benches to fine-tune your overall ergonomics.

FAQs
Do I still need this if I use an adjustable bench?
Possibly. Adjust the bench first; if knees remain high or treadling still strains your legs, this kit provides the extra lift that solves it.
Will this work on looms other than the Delta?
No. This kit is engineered for the Louët Delta. Other Louët models have their own dedicated ergonomic accessories.
Is installation difficult?
It’s straightforward: blocks screw onto the treadles, and the included rail elevates the footrest to match.
How much height does it add?
A precise 32 mm (1.25") to both treadles and footrest.
Can I combine it with a tilting bench?
Yes. Many weavers pair the kit with a tilting/adjustable bench for the most comfortable posture.
