Detailed description

The Ashford Table Tapestry Loom was designed to meet the specific requirements of tapestry weaving while remaining compact and accessible. The adjustable top tension beam allows for firm, even warp tension, which is essential for clean shapes and well-defined edges.

The reed acts both as a warp separator and a system for lifting the wefts, simplifying shed opening and increasing weaving speed. Direct warping is quick and intuitive, making the loom easy to set up for less experienced weavers while allowing advanced weavers to prepare projects efficiently.

The adjustable side posts allow you to adapt the loom angle to your posture, whether you prefer to weave seated or partially standing. Once weaving is finished, the loom folds flat and can be stored or hung on a wall, making it ideal for small spaces and shared studios.


Suitable projects

This loom is particularly well suited for:

  • Small to medium-format wall tapestries
  • Structured decorative pieces (shapes, textures, relief)
  • Colour and texture research samples
  • Contemporary textile projects inspired by ikat or other resist techniques
  • Teaching tapestry weaving in workshop or educational settings

Recommended level

  • Supported beginners
  • Intermediate weavers
  • Experienced tapestry weavers

It is also an excellent first loom dedicated to tapestry weaving for anyone wishing to go beyond a simple demonstration frame.
