Spare reeds, heddles and warp sticks

Ashford's stainless steel reeds for the Jack Loom come in 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 dpi. Jack Loom Texsolv heddles are the same heddles the box holds, in packs of 100. Ashford sells Jack Loom Treadle Ties ten to a pack. Jack Loom Wooden Warp Sticks separate the warp as you wind it on and come in sets of 10.

Ashford designed its Hobby Bench 2 for comfortable weaving at the Jack Loom, with seven seat heights and a seat that tilts.

For workshops or guild meetings, Ashford's four and eight shaft Folding Table Looms fold flat with the weaving in place. The Katie is Ashford's 12 in eight shaft table loom for workshops, sampling, travel and fun. For a first four shaft loom, the Brooklyn Four Shaft Loom is Ashford's affordable full size table loom.
