Is the 30cm (12”) Ashford Knitters Loom warped like a rigid heddle loom?

Yes, the 30cm (12") Ashford Knitters Loom is warped like a rigid heddle loom. If you're looking for smaller and more portable weaving, you might want to try a pin loom like the Schacht Zoom Loom. See it here: https://threadcollective.com.au/products/schacht-zoom-loom

Can I weave cotton dishtowels on the 71cm (28") Ashford Knitters Loom?

Yes, the Ashford Knitters Loom will be good for cotton towels as with all Ashford rigid heddle looms. Your warp guides your weaving reed choice. Please see the guide on reed dent and yarn compatibility below:
2.5 DPI (10/10) - 14 ply yarn (fleece rug, fabric weaving, and art yarns)

5 DPI (20/10) - 12ply yarn (fleece rug, fabric weaving, and bulky yarns)

7.5 DPI(30/10) - 8ply yarn (double knit and novelty yarns)

10 DPPI (40/10) - 4ply yarn

12.5 DPI (50/10) - 2ply fine yarn (cotton, silk, etc.)

15 DPI (60/10) - 2ply fine yarn (cotton, silk, etc.)

What is the difference between the Ashford Knitters Loom and the Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom?

The difference between the Ashford Knitters Loom and the Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom is in how wide you want to weave because these looms come in different sizes. The Rigid Heddle Loom is available in 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, 80cm, 120cm widths while the Knitters Loom comes in 30cm, 50cm, and 70cm widths. Another difference between the two is that the Knitters Loom is ready assembled. You just need to take it out of the box, warp your loom, and you can start weaving right away. The Rigid Heddle Loom, on the other hand, requires assembly.

What reeds can the Ashford Knitters Loom accommodate?

The Ashford Knitters Loom supports reeds designed specifically for it. Reeds are available with dents per inch ranging from 2.5 to 15, and a Vari Dent option is also available to allow for even more creative freedom.

Is the loom suitable for beginners?

Absolutely, its user-friendly design makes it ideal for both beginners and experienced weavers.

What types of projects can I create with this loom?

You can weave scarves, shawls, table runners, and fabric for garments or home textiles up to 50cm wide.

How portable is the 50cm Knitters Loom?

Weighing approximately 2.8kg (6lb) and folding in half, it's highly portable for travel.

Does the loom come pre-finished?

Yes, it comes pre-assembled and features a smooth lacquer finish, eliminating the need for additional finishing.

Can I use the loom for double-width weaving?

With the built-in second heddle option, double-width weaving is possible, effectively doubling the project width. You will require an additional heddle in the same DPI to weave double width.

What materials is the loom made from?

It's constructed from solid Silver Beech timber, known for its durability and beauty.

Are there any accessories included with the loom?

Yes, it comes with cardboard warp sticks, clamps, a Learn to Weave booklet, a padded carry bag, a threading hook, and a warping peg.

Is assembly required upon purchase?

No, the loom comes fully assembled, ready for immediate use.

How does the Knitters Loom differ from the standard Rigid Heddle Loom?

The Knitters Loom is more portable, folds with weaving in place, and comes pre-finished, whereas the standard Rigid Heddle Loom is larger, does not fold, and typically requires finishing.
