First loom

This came with good instructions and was easy to put together. I got the 16" version and it is a perfect first loom. It's small enough to be moved around and put away. Delivery was really fast and efficient with good comms from Wingham, very happy customer.

Excellent Loom

I'm relatively new to weaving but as a sculptor and painter, I've made the decision to expand my practice and head into the unknown. I plan to make obscure large figures wrapped in hand spun yarn woven into random shapes. I have no idea what the outcome will be. Setting up the look has been tricky and time consuming but this has paid off. Even the first woven cloth was exactly how I needed it to be. A very good investment

16 inch rigid heddle Ashford loom.

Extremely pleased with the product. Beautifully made and easy to make up with the use of the instructions included in box. It's a very good size and will be perfectly adequate for anything I want to make at present. If in the future I want to upsize I would certainly buy the same Ashford loom again.

A great loom

I've been wanting to upgrade in terms of size from my current 40cm RHL, and was torn between the 80cm and the 120cm. I opted for the 120cm - and it is a beast! Easy to assemble with just one person, instructions are pretty straight forward.Looking foward to warping it up for the first time this weekend :)

Perfect introduction to weaving

The loom is easy to set up and use, with clear instructions. It feels solid, but not heavy. As an inexperienced weaver this is a perfect introduction.

48� 15 DPI

I ordered the 48� 15 DPI alongside my purchase of the loom. Wood comes unfinished so looking forward staining to match my decor! Very quick and easy delivery to NI- much appreciated

Beautiful and big

I ordered the 48� loom as I plan to make large throws but also want the option of making scarves if needed too. The loom is beautiful and wood is great quality! I haven�t assembled it yet as the wood comes unfinished- I am staining it a walnut colour and sealing with wax. I can�t wait to get started! Delivery to NI was free (thank you as we have a lot of bother getting larger items shipped from the mainland!), super quick and easy. I ordered the 15 DPI reed as well- definitely recommend Wingham wool work!

Just what I needed

Confronted with a last minute xmas weaving request, I needed a reed to take DK yarn asap. Delivery was super speedy and fantastically well wrapped, so any worries about postal breakage were unjustified. Thank you!

Bought this to help make rugs from sheep fleeces. It should be better than peg looming.Looks sturdy and good quality wood.

Well made

I bought this to use with my prototype DIY heddle loom. Ashford produce well made long lasting equipment (we have 2 second hand spinning wheels) and I am hopeful the reed will be in use for many years to come. Wingham are an excellent company to deal with and are very prompt at sending out orders which always are well wrapped.

So well made

I bought the 5dpi heddle knowing I wanted to use thicker yarns. So glad I did. My first two projects used a two sided tape and wow! Stunning shawl and scarf. Brilliant!

Superb loom

I am absolutely loving my rigid heddle loom. I bought the 32" model and love the flexibility it offers. It's beautifully constructed (even my husband is impressed) and really easy to use once you get the hang of it.My only disappointment is that I broke my arm and now have to wait 6 weeks before I can get going again! Weaving will be not just a joy but possibly an addiction.
