A perfect introduction to the Ashford SampleIt Loom! This video shows how easy and fun it is to create beautiful woven pieces on this compact and beginner-friendly loom.
New to the Ashford SampleIt loom? Watch this first! It includes tips and important info to ensure a smooth and accurate assembly.
Can I weave using wool or other yarns in the 40cm (16”) Ashford SampleIt loom?
Yes, you can!
Do the Ashford SampleIt looms take up much space?
Both the 40cm (16") and 25cm (10") Ashford SampleIt Looms do not take up that much space. It is perfect for those who are tight with space.
What is the difference between the Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom and the Ashford SampleIt Loom? Do both looms come with the same set of accessories?
Both the Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom and the Ashford SampleIt Loom have a rigid heddle. However, the SampleIt Loom has the narrowest weaving width of all the Ashford rigid heddle loom options. It can be used to quickly warp up and sample a pattern before transitioning to a wider warp on a larger weaving loom. The Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom and the Ashford SampleIt Loom come with the same accessories. There are also optional additional accessories you can purchase for these looms.
Will the Ashford SampleIt fit onto the Ashford Rigid Heddle Stand Variable?
Although both the Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom and the Ashford SampleIt Loom have 16" weaving width options, the actual size of the 16" SampleIt Loom is actually quite smaller than the 16" Rigid Heddle Loom.
Since the Ashford SampleIt is smaller than the dimensions the loom stand was built for, they may not work together. However, the Ashford SampleIt Loom does have its own stand.
For your reference, here at the dimensions:
16" SampleIt: 18.5" x 18.5" x 5"
16" Rigid Heddle: 20" x 24.25" x 5"
Can the SampleIt Loom 40cm accommodate different yarn thicknesses?
Yes, with optional reeds in various sizes, it can handle a range of yarn thicknesses.
Is the SampleIt Loom 40cm suitable for tapestry weaving?
While primarily designed for rigid heddle weaving, it can be adapted for simple tapestry projects.
How does the built-in second heddle option enhance weaving?
It allows for more complex patterns and double-width fabrics by enabling two heddles to be used simultaneously.
What is the weight of the SampleIt Loom 40cm?
The loom weighs approximately 1.7 kg (4 lb), making it lightweight and portable.
Are there instructional videos available for assembling the SampleIt Loom?
Yes, Ashford provides assembly tutorials on their official YouTube channel.
Can the SampleIt Loom 40cm be used with a stand?
Yes, an optional adjustable stand is available for comfortable weaving.
What types of projects are ideal for the SampleIt Loom 40cm?
It's perfect for scarves, table runners, and sampling various colour and weaving techniques.
Is the SampleIt Loom 40cm compatible with Ashford's Vari Dent reed?
Ashford has a vari dent reed specifically manufactured for the SampleIt looms available here, allowing for the use of different yarn weights and/or warp spacing in a single project.
Does the loom require any finishing before use?
The loom has a natural timber finish; applying a wax or wood finish is optional but recommended to protect the wood.
How does the SampleIt Loom 40cm compare to the 25cm version?
The 40cm version offers a wider weaving width, suitable for larger projects, while remaining portable.
