More Details:
At the heart of the WDL is the Interchangeable Design Unit (IDU). The IDU is one of the three major units of the Workshop Dobby Loom. Measuring a mere 25 1/2" W x 25 3/4" H x 9 1/2" D for the 16" WDL, the IDU includes all the major pieces of the loom. It can be placed in a carrying case that weighs just over 30 lbs.
The IDU includes the harnesses, beams, and Compu-Dobby and as its name implies, can be inter-changed with another unit -- with the warp on! Using the WDL's X-Frame base, an IDU can be placed on the base, while another IDU is being warped. The IDU comes standard with wheels mounted for easy transport.
Harnesses use lightweight, solid hardwood harness sticks and are held rigid by a pair of textile industry constant-tension springs that keep the polyester heddles at an even tension. Recently upgraded, these springs provide longer life and minimize harness float.
The front beam is AVL's famous "sticky" beam -- sandpaper that allows the user to start a warp without the use of an apron. And the 24" WDL comes with a separate Cloth Storage Beam. Tension is controlled at the warp beam using a smaller version of the same Automatic Warp Tension System found on WDL's bigger cousins. The WDL is available with either a Sectional Beam or Plain Beam, which is easily upgrade-able to a Sectional Beam.
The second major component set, the X-Frame, is a sturdy foundation upon which the IDU can be rested. The Base unit can be assembled or taken down in a matter of minutes.
 
The third and last piece of the Workshop Dobby Loom is AVL's renouned Compu-Dobby IV. 
Like all AVLs, this one can even be had with a double warp beam. This redesigned feature is nearly as compact as the single beam configuration!
