The Ashford SampleIt Loom is a compact weaving loom with a width of 25 cm (10″), designed for sampling yarns, structure tests, design trials and small projects. It provides an economical, low-space tool for exploring weave structure, yarn behaviour or building proficiency before scaling to larger looms. With its simple, compact frame, makers can experiment with different warp/weft combinations, colourways and finished texture.

Although small in scale, the SampleIt Loom supports the same technical principles as larger floor looms—leno, twill, plain weave, double cloth and more—making it a valuable tool for design development and studio testing. Ideal for studios, classrooms or hobbyists where space is at a premium. The portability also means you can move the loom between workspaces or storage easily.

For any maker producing bespoke woven textiles, the SampleIt Loom gives the freedom to experiment, sample and fine-tune before committing to larger production run or wide width scenarios.

• Saves space, time and resources by providing a test platform.

• Ideal for studios refining yarns, structures or colourways in weave design.

• Suitable for educational use, workshops and beginners.

• Helps minimise waste and refine design before full-scale weaving.
  

Perfect For:

• Sample weaving for scarves, narrow panels, or fabric development.

• Educational environments teaching weaving basics or structure experimentation.

• Studio design workflows where prototypes are required before wide loom runs.

• Makers testing new yarns, colour combinations or fabric finishes.

• Portfolio development for textile designers exploring complex weave design
