The Ashford Eight-Shaft Table Loom with a weaving width of 40 cm (16”) brings advanced weaving capability into a compact table format. According to manufacturer specs, the eight-shaft models are available in widths of 40 cm, 60 cm and 80 cm.
Its fold-flat design allows the loom to be stored or transported with weaving in place, making it well suited for studio settings or workshop use. Each shaft can be lifted independently enabling complex weave patterns, textured designs and advanced structural experimentation. For serious makers or designers looking to build woven textile collections, this loom offers a significant step up while retaining accessibility and manageability.
