Ashford 16-shaft table loom 60 cm. This portable and versatile loom allows you to weave countless structures, textures, designs and combinations, creating simple and complex fabrics where you set the limit. The levers fold down for easier transport, even with the warp in place, so you can take it anywhere.

The maximum weaving width is 60 cm. It includes 1280 heddles (80 heddles per shaft) and a 4.8/10 reed, allowing you to weave across the full width with the 16 shafts at a maximum density of approximately 21 ends per centimetre.

It is an exceptional loom for those who want to work with a high level of precision and complexity without moving to a floor loom.

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.

Simple maintenance ensures a stable, quiet and durable tool.
