This affordable, portable and versatile Ashford rigid heddle loom is quick and easy to use and simple to assemble. Everything you need to get started is included in the kit – just add yarn! The built-in second heddle option allows for double width, layer or density weaving as well as additional patterns. 

Made from Silver Beech hardwood, this is a super strong, versatile, and thoughtfully built loom perfect for creating garments and homegoods. The Ashford Rigid Heddle Looms come in four widths and each loom comes with a 7.5 dent reed, two shuttle sticks, a double end threading hook, clamps and a peg for warping and holding the loom while weaving if desired, a weaving guide that will teach you everything you need to get warping + weaving (great for beginners + experienced folks alike!). All of these looms also have a built-in second heddle option (second heddle not included) and indirect warping option (pegs not included).

It's easy to teach yourself how to warp and weave on this loom - Ashford has super video tutorials - head over here to get started. These looms come unfinished and require building (which takes about one hour and there is a video tutorial here).
