- What is "Four Now - Four Later"?
"Four Now - Four Later" (4N4L) is a loom shipped with four harnesses installed, and with the capacity to add an additional four harnesses. You can purchase a kit to add four harnesses at a later time. 4N4L looms are shipped with all the heddles, tie-ups and other items normally included with an eight harness loom.
- I'm buying a used four harness loom. Can I add four harnesses to it?
Looking down at the harnesses from above, if the loom has empty channels in the castle, then you can add four harnesses. If there are no empty channels, then you cannot add four harnesses. Four harness looms (those without the empty channels) cannot be converted to eight harnesses.
