As the name suggests, the Leclerc Compact floor loom is a fully functional floor loom designed for applications where space is limited. This includes small apartments and homes or those where the loom needs to be easily made available for weaving but can be quickly folded up and stored in a closet or other small space. The Compact is an excellent teaching loom and is used in many University and College weaving programs. The Compact is a Jack loom available in either 4 shaft or 8 shaft configurations with a weaving width of 24 inches (61 cm). It is a fully functional floor loom with foot treadles, a full tie-up system and brake like those found on Leclerc's larger floor looms. The Compact is also an excellent alternative to a table loom for home or portable use in courses or conferences as when it is folded its small size makes it easy to transport. There have been many enhancements to the Compact loom design over the years, many are highlighted below. These make the loom a very functional and cost effective loom for a wide range of weaving applications.
