Ashford Brooklyn 4-shaft table loom 40 cm. This loom has been designed as an introduction to shaft weaving, allowing you to enter the world of handweaving on low-warp looms and create simple and complex weaves such as twill, satin, rosepath and more, with your own creativity setting the limit.

The maximum weaving width is 40 cm. It includes 320 heddles (80 heddles per shaft) and a 40/10 reed, allowing you to weave across the full width with the 4 shafts at a maximum density of 4 ends per centimetre. (If you need a higher density across the full width, you will need more heddles).

It is a simple and comfortable loom to weave on. The beater is very comfortable to use, it has a wide shed and the shafts move easily.

My recommendation as a professional craftswoman and accredited Master Artisan is that you take a handweaving course on table looms before buying this loom. It is not an intuitive loom: here we are entering fully into the fascinating world of low-warp loom weaving, with weave structures and drafts. Please contact us with any questions; I will advise you personally.

To keep your loom in excellent condition for many years, we recommend:

  • Wipe it regularly with a dry cloth to remove dust.
  • Avoid using abrasive or wet products on the wood.
  • If you wish, you may occasionally apply a natural oil suitable for wood to nourish and protect it.
  • Check the tension of the heddles or reed according to use.
  • Store the loom in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • For folding models, close the loom correctly to avoid twisting.
