Ashford Table Looms are very popular because they are portable, easy to use and so versatile. They are available in three weaving widths - 16", 24" and 32". 

The eight shaft looms fold flat for easy transport, even with your weaving in place, making them ideal for taking to workshops or guild meetings. The overhead beater for best weaving shed, with automatic bounce back, gives a wonderful shed and even beating. Levers are within easy reach for comfortable weaving. Each shaft can be lifted simply and quickly and is independent enabling a wide variety of patterns to be woven. 

The solid Silver Beech hard wood is lacquered for long-lasting good looks. Non-slip rubber feet give extra stability. Swedish stainless steel reed and lightweight Texsolv heddles are included. Stand sold separately.

    Lovely loom.

    This is a lovely loom. I am new at weaving, I own a ridged heddle loom, but wanted a larger shed, so decided to buy this loom and I love it. The only “con” I found is the company is cheap on its supply of string and they do not give you one extra ounce of supplies. But the string that you attach to the warp rollers, was my biggest gripe, an extra couple of inches per cut, would have been nice. Assembly was time consuming but I did it alone, just took my time and it went together as instructed.

    Well built and sturdy little loom with 8 shafts

    As I can no longer use my legs to treadle, this is the perfect way for me to be able to continue my passion for weaving. It takes a bit to set it up, but once you train your hands to do what your feet used to do it goes along quite smoothly.

    Fantastic workshop loom

    My husband bought this loom for me when I balked at the cost of getting a new workshop loom. It was too hard on my back and my loom to move my 24" 8 shaft floor loom to workshops. He bought it blind, basically a lot of guesswork. And it has turned out consistently to be everybody's favorite loom in round robin workshops. I love it. I only wish I'd gotten one that was wider than 16". The only thing that is at all difficult/time consuming is changing the number of heddles on the shafts and I don't have any suggestions on how to make it easier. I keep a fair number of texsolv heddles on each shaft and don't have to move them often. I lent this loom to a friend to use for a zoom workshop while she was moving to a small place and her weaving equipment was in temporary storage. Her comment was that the loom was a pleasure to use and she might switch to this loom and sell her floor room to save space. I highly recommend this loom.

    Ashford 8-shaft loom

    I haven't yet woven anything on this loom, but it's very pretty to look at. The wood is smooth to the touch and a beautiful color. It went together easily. I've never used a loom with Texsol heddles, so this will be a new experience. I plan on weaving a few samples at first to get a "feel" for how the loom works, but I like the way the reed swings and is attached to the loom with 2 elastic bands making it unnecessary to push it back when throwing the shuttle. The delivery was almost a week ahead of schedule. A wonderful experience from the ordering to the assembly and I'm sure to the weaving. Thank you GIST Yarn!
