Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom 120cm / 48"

The Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom with a full 120 cm (48”) width offers large-format weaving with the simplicity of a rigid heddle system. Specifications confirm the availability of this width in Ashford’s rigid heddle line (40, 60, 80 and 120 cm).
 This loom is ideal for makers, designers or studios who want to weave full width fabrics, panels for upholstery or decorative textiles, or even full width garments in one piece. While wider fabric presents more demands in warp management and finishing, this loom retains warp-advance ease, second-heddle capability and direct accessibility.
 Investing in this width gives both scale and flexibility—for larger projects while still using a familiar system.

Benefits

  • Allows wide weaving for full-sized fabrics, home textiles, garment cloth and large-format pieces.

  • Combines scale with ease of a rigid heddle setup, bridging hobby studio and production.

  • Suitable for makers scaling into wider textile production without floor-loom complexity.

  • Offers creative freedom: extra width means more pattern, texture and design possibilities.

  • Built by Ashford, meaning long-term support, reliability and upgrade-path to accessories.

Perfect For:

  • Upholstery panels, wide throws, full-width shawls, wide-width garments or installation textiles.

  • Designer studios producing sample bolts for production or large-format limited editions.

  • Educational weaving courses teaching wide weaving processes and finishing.

  • Makers creating highly textured, large-scale fabric works.

  • Weavers who want an upgrade path without leaving rigid heddle system behind.

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

  • Weaving width: 120 cm (48”) — essentially full-width fabric capability.
  • Silver Beech hardwood construction with warp-advance ratchet system; heavy-duty enough for wide warps.
  • Comes with accessories (shuttles, warping peg, clamp, heddle) and supports second-heddle for structural variation.
  • Requires a large, stable work surface and ample space for warping, weaving and cloth take-up.
  • Warp length should be planned to avoid fabric shrinkage or misalignment in wide formats; finishing important.
  • After weaving, large fabrics should be washed, blocked, dried flat or tensioned to stabilise weave.

  • Confirm your workspace: bench/table depth, lighting, support for 120 cm width and cloth roll-out.
  • Consider loom stand or floor mounting if table depth is insufficient.
  • Use strong warp yarn and appropriate sett to maintain width and avoid sag or distortion.
  • Finish woven fabric with care—wash, press, block and allow for shrinkage before cutting for final use.
  • Keep detailed notes on yarn, sett, beat, finishing for repeatability especially on large formats.
