Ashford Eight Shaft 40cm / 16" Table Loom

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.

Benefits

  • Compact width makes loom suitable for smaller studios or shared spaces.

  • Combines professional capabilities with accessibility for serious makers.

  • Suitable for designers producing woven textile collections or limited-edition runs.

  • Fold-flat design supports flexibility in studio layout and transport to workshops.

Perfect For:

  • Workshop or guild settings teaching advanced weaving techniques.

  • Makers building small-batch production of textured woven fabrics.

  • Art-textile installations or experiments where structure is key.

  • Ensure you have adequate workspace, warping board or frame for width and eight-shaft complexity.
  • Choose reed, sett and yarns appropriate for eight-shaft structure and width.
