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.
