Precision Beaming System for Louet Floor Looms
The Louet Sectional Warp Kit converts your Louet floor loom into a professional, sectional beaming setup. By winding the warp in small, controlled bouts, you gain even tension, faster setup for long warps, and the ability to isolate and correct issues by section—ideal for fine yarns, production weaving, and mixed-fiber projects.
Features & Benefits
Consistent, controllable tension
- Sections (typically 1"/2.5 cm) are wound to identical lengths for uniform tension across the entire beam.
- Particularly effective for fine counts and mixed fibers that stretch differently (e.g., rayon + wool).
Built for long warps
- Wind extended yardage confidently; avoid sagging and tension drift common with plain beaming.
- Small bouts let you pause/restart without risking the entire warp.
Efficiency & error isolation
- Beam directly from spools through a tension box—no warping board/mill required.
- If one bout looks “off,” re-beam just that section instead of the whole warp.
Louet-matched components
- Hardwood slats and hardware match your Louet loom’s construction and finish.
- Model-specific kits for a clean, secure installation.

Recommended Accessories for Sectional Warping
- Tension Box / Warp Tension Regulator: sets identical tension and guides threads with a mini reed.
- Spool Rack & Bobbin Winder: prepare and feed multiple ends cleanly into the tension box.
- Yardage Counter: wind precise length into every section for matching beam circumference.
FAQs
Do I still need a warping board or mill?
Not for sectional beaming. You work from spools through a tension box directly onto the beam.
How do I decide ends per section?
Use your sett (EPI/EPC). Example: at 24 EPI with a 1" section, load 24 ends per section.
What if one section winds unevenly?
Simply re-beam that single section—no need to unwind the entire warp.
Will this help with mixed fibers?
Yes. Sectional beaming helps maintain consistent tension when fibers stretch differently.
Is installation permanent?
It’s a removable, model-specific kit; you can convert between sectional and plain beaming as needed.
Weave Longer Warps with Confidence
Outfit your Louet loom with the Sectional Warp Kit to achieve professional tension, faster setup, and reliable results on demanding projects—from yardage and blankets to fine-thread textiles. Choose the kit that matches your loom width and elevate your beaming workflow.
