Special Offer: Ashford Katie Loom

This Item Is A Customer Return

A customer bought this loom and when they received it found the width to be too small for the project they had in mind. It has been unboxed and taken out of the bag, but not used: The protective wrapping is still in place around the limbs, the warp threads haven't been un-tied and all accessories are included. This is in effect a new loom that has simply had the bag opened. It has been checked by our team and comes with all normal guarantees just as if you were buying the loom as new.

The Ashford Katie Table Loom is a compact, fully functional eight-shaft loom designed for weavers who want the versatility of multi-shaft weaving in a portable format. With a 30cm (12in) weaving width and folding design, it is particularly well suited to sampling, workshops, courses and travelling, without limiting the range of weave structures you can explore. 

Despite its compact size, the Katie offers all eight shafts, opening up an enormous range of possibilities for experimenting with patterns and more complex weave structures. Smooth levers make shaft selection easy, while the overhead beater automatically returns to position. The beater can also be flipped up and out of the way to provide easier access when threading.

One of the Katie's biggest advantages is its portability. The loom folds with your weaving still in place and weighs approximately 6.5kg, making it easy to take to weaving groups, workshops and demonstrations. A padded zipped carry bag with shoulder strap is included.
