LoftyFiber | Helping Hands and Raddle for the Ashford Brooklyn Loom
The LoftyFiber Helping Hands and Raddle Kit for the Ashford Brooklyn loom are designed to simplify the warping process from start to finish. Specifically engineered for the Brooklyn, the Helping Hands securely support your lease sticks in practical positions for spreading the warp in the raddle, winding onto the beam, and transitioning smoothly into threading once beaming is complete.
The system uses the two Ashford lease sticks supplied with the Brooklyn loom.
If you already own a LoftyFiber raddle for an Ashford Table Loom or Ashford Katie, please note that the Brooklyn uses a different clip size. However, you can reuse three 6-inch LoftyFiber raddle sections and caps by purchasing the Brooklyn-specific clips separately. If reusing existing LoftyFiber raddle components, ensure they are the newer style with the integrated clip groove.
The Raddle Kit includes:
- 3 x 6-inch raddle sections
- 3 matching raddle caps
- 1 x 1-inch cap
- 4 short Brooklyn clips
- 2 tall Brooklyn clips
- 2 purple joining sleeves
Designed to work seamlessly with the Ashford Brooklyn loom, this kit provides a convenient and organised setup for more efficient beaming and threading.

This device assists in holding cross sticks in place for beaming and threading using the back-to-front method. The name "helping hands" is not to be confused with the stretch cords made by Ashford for holding the cross sticks in place.
