Details
The Ashford Brooklyn is a four shaft table loom with a 16 in weaving width, designed as an economic stepping stone for rigid heddle weavers and other new weavers ready to explore multi-shaft weaving. Ashford's own first project for it is two twill dish towels in 5/2 cotton, woven the full width of the loom.

| Weaving width | 16 in |
| Shafts | 4, one lever each. Push a lever down to lift its shaft, smooth action for light and easy pattern changes |
| Shaft lift | Texsolv cord from both sides through nylon guides, to lift each shaft evenly and adjust its height |
| Shed | Generous, rising |
| Heddles | Texsolv, 8 5/8 in long, 80 a shaft, enough for a balanced 20 ends per inch over the full width |
| Beater | Overhead, with automatic bounce back for even beating at the fell. Takes over-width reeds, and two split pins lock it while you sley the reed |
| Tension | 40 tooth nylon ratchets with clicker pawls that stay in place while you weave or transport the loom |
| Beam to beam | 28 1/2 in |
| Size | 29 in deep, 19 1/2 in wide, 18 in tall at the castle, 20 1/2 in to the lever tops |
| Weight | 6.5kg (14 1/2 lb) |
| Feet | Rubber, to keep the loom from moving while you weave |
| Build | Beech hardwood with plywood sides, natural unfinished. Leave it natural, or wax, oil or lacquer it |
Spare reeds, heddles and warping tools
Ashford's stainless steel table loom reed comes in the 16 in width in 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 dpi, for different setts or yarns. Extra Texsolv heddles come in packs of 40 or 320, and the bungee cords that bounce the beater back come as a pair.
The booklet winds the warp on a warping frame, then spreads it through a raddle, which keeps the threads spaced as you wind the warp onto the back roller. Ashford's 16 in Raddle Kit comes with the safety rings and helping hands that method uses.
Ashford's Folding Table Looms include a 24 in four shaft loom that folds flat with the weaving in place, and the same family goes to eight and sixteen shafts. The Katie puts eight shafts in a compact 12 in loom for workshops, sampling, travel and fun. When you're ready to expand, the Jack Loom is Ashford's eight shaft, ten treadle floor loom.
We carry spare reeds, Texsolv heddles and bungee cords for the Brooklyn here in Spokane, and Ashford's 12 month guarantee on manufacturing faults runs through us as your dealer. For anything else, call or chat with us.
