The Ashford Four Shaft Table Loom is a versatile and dependable loom, ideal for weavers who want to explore a wide range of patterns while keeping their setup compact and manageable. Offering excellent control and smooth operation, it’s a popular choice for both confident beginners and experienced weavers.

With four shafts, you can weave far more than plain weave — including twills, herringbone, waffle weave and many other classic structures. It’s an ideal stepping stone for those ready to move beyond rigid heddle weaving and begin experimenting with more complex designs.

The sturdy frame provides stability while weaving, and the overhead beater ensures clear visibility and consistent beating. Its folding design makes it easy to store when not in use, making it well suited to home studios and shared spaces.

A practical, capable loom that allows you to develop your weaving skills and confidently explore four-shaft pattern work.
