Leclerc Weavebird Computer-Dobby looms are a series of sophisticated Computer controlled handweaving looms based on the Weavebird system conceived by Kevin Burns of Ireland. Designed for small production environments and those weavers looking for a high level of output, the Weavebird delivers a high degree of functionality without the corresponding high price and complexity found in scaled down production looms.
The Weavebird looms employ a unique enhanced Countermarch mechanism where the weight of each shaft is balanced off with a compensating counter-weight . This design enables the production of complex patterns while dramatically reducing the treadling effort and physical strain on the weaver. The actual effort required to operate the Weavebird's 16, 24 or 32 shafts approximates that of a 4 shaft counterbalance loom. This unique design eliminates the need for the expensive and complicated air/electric driven tr
The Weavebird loom's Countermarch mechanism controls both the rising and sinking sheds to produce a large uniform shed while minimizing the amount the yarn threads are stretched. Operation is simple with the weaver controlling the loom using two back mounted treadles to open and close the shed. The looms depth of up to 71 inch (180 cm) produces an excellent shed every time.
