The Leclerc Colonial v2 adapts the traditional handloom design used by our ancestors updating it with a number of modern improvements while maintaining the classic look. Constructed with the finest Canadian Maple hardwood, it is finished with clear lacquer and varnish so that the beauty of the natural wood remains visible. The Colonial v2 is available in both 45" and 60" weaving widths and can be ordered with 8 or 12 shafts. Kits are available to add more shafts allowing a weaver to start with basic 8 shaft weaves and then expand to 12 later as they become more proficient. The floating lams, overhead jacks and hanging shafts produce a multi-shaft loom that is easy to treadle and quiet in operation. The loom's friction break and cloth advance rachet are sturdy enough for high tension warps and can be easily activated while the weaver is sitting.

Camilla Valley Farm occasionally receives previously owned Leclerc weaving looms and accessories. These looms are completely refurbished and any damaged or missing pieces are repaired with genuine Leclerc replacement parts to ensure they are in proper working order. Knowing that the cost of repairs can often exceed the actual purchase price on used looms, we are very picky on which models we offer and what condition they are in. The listings below show some of the looms and accessories available at the present time. We normally have more items not listed in the store. The price shown includes only what is shown in the picture unless otherwise noted.
