Dobby Support in TempoWeave

TempoWeave currently supports Louet dobby looms. Support for additional dobby loom models is on our development roadmap.

Dobby Options in the Tools Menu

There are two options related to dobby use:

1. Dobby Icon

   • Opens the Dobby Screen

   • From here, you can:

     • Configure the port for your loom

     • Weave the current draft using dobby controls (Forward, Reverse, Set Pick, etc.)

2. Prepare Threading WIF

   • Generates a new draft where the treadling mirrors the threading

   • Ideal for use during loom setup

   • Especially useful on high-shaft dobby looms to raise each shaft individually while threading — a method that helps reduce errors
