Ashford Eight Shaft 60cm / 24" Table Loom

The Ashford Eight-Shaft Table Loom in the 61 cm (~24″) width expands capacity for more ambitious fabrics and design options, building upon the eight-shaft structure with additional weaving real-estate. According to specification sources, eight-shaft models are available in 40, 60 and 80 cm widths; this model fits into the 60cm/24″ category.
With fold-flat design, polished finish and full eight-shaft capability (independent shaft lifting, overhead beater, stainless reed) it is designed for designers, studios and makers beyond the entry level. It caters to weaving projects that demand width, pattern, texture and quality finishing.
Whether you’re producing limited-edition woven cloth, boutique home-textiles or high-end fashion fabrics, this loom gives capability with manageable footprint.

Benefits

  • Balances width and structure: more fabric surface than 40 cm model, but still manageably sized.

  • Eight shaft capability opens full design potential for pattern and texture.

  • Suitable for maker studios scaling up design output but not yet in large floor loom territory.

  • Excellent for small production runs, bespoke textile services or high-end artisan fabrics.

  • Build quality, folding function and brand reputation make it long-term investment.

Perfect For:

  • Scarves, wraps, lightweight fabric yardage, home-textile panels or apparel cloth with pattern.

  • Design studios producing custom woven pieces for clients or collections.

  • Educational weaving courses or advanced workshops focused on eight-shaft techniques.

  • Makers creating small-batch textiles and accessories combining width and structure.

  • Designers prototyping before floor loom investment or large scale runs.

  • Weaving width: ~61 cm (24”) — suitable for medium-width fabric pieces, wraps, yardage.
  • Eight shaft, fold-flat design with overhead beater to deliver consistent shed and beat. 
  • Includes stainless steel reed, Texsolv heddles, shuttles and step-by-step manual. 
  • Set warp across full width, control tension especially at outer edges, plan complex weave sequences and monitor fabric take-up.
  • Weaving after warping should include rechecking shaft lifting, shed clarity and beat uniformity; finish fabric with proper washing and blocking before use.

  • Check workspace for width and ensure loom is secured flat and stable; 24″ width still requires support.
  • Use appropriate reed size and sett for yarn and fabric width; monitor edge distortion.
  • Plan and document draft, tie-up and treadling carefully as eight-shaft weaving can become complex.
  • After weaving wide pieces, wash and block to stabilise width and structure, especially if combining fibres.
  • Keep maintenance schedule for loom: check folding mechanism, shaft cords and beater action regularly.
