Ashford's Folding Table Looms come with four, eight or sixteen shafts, and all three fold flat with the weaving in place. Ashford calls all three easy to use and versatile for beginner and experienced weavers, and the four and eight shaft ideal for workshops.
Four, eight or sixteen shafts
The eight shaft comes in 16, 24 or 32 in, and the four and sixteen shaft in 24 in. Ashford pitches the four shaft at traditional and modern patterns, the eight at more complex ones, and the sixteen at intricate and detailed patterns. If you're torn, call or chat with us.

Spare reeds, heddles and stands
A spare reed is Ashford's stainless steel table loom reed in your loom's width. Extra Texsolv heddles come in bundles of 40, and bungee cords two to a pack.
The 4 and 8 shaft fit Ashford's Table Loom Stand, and its treadle kit adds four treadles for direct tie up. The 16 shaft takes its own Sixteen Shaft Table Loom Stand.
The booklet's warping method uses a warping frame and a raddle on the back beam, and Ashford's Raddle Kit comes in each of these looms' widths.
The compact eight shaft Katie weaves 12 in, for workshops, sampling, travel and fun. To begin weaving on four shafts, the Brooklyn Four Shaft Loom is Ashford's affordable, full size table loom, 16 in wide.
For eight shafts and ten treadles on a floor loom, the Jack Loom weaves 38 in.
