The TempoTreadle II for the Ashford Jack floor loom is an electronic weaving assistance system designed to help weavers follow weaving sequences on the Ashford Jack 8 shaft loom.

Compatible with the Ashford Jack 8 shaft floor loom, the system helps reduce weaving errors and improves weaving flow during projects involving long repeats or complex weaving sequences.

TempoTreadle II reads WIF files directly from a micro-SD card and automatically detects weaving sequences during weaving.

When the correct combination is detected:

  • a sound signal confirms the sequence
  • the system automatically advances to the next pick
  • draft tracking becomes more fluid

If an error occurs, a different sound immediately alerts the weaver.

The result:

  • fewer weaving errors
  • better sequence tracking
  • greater weaving fluidity
  • a smoother experience during long repeats

Particularly useful for:

  • long repeats
  • multi-shaft projects
  • long weaving sequences
  • reducing weaving errors
  • projects requiring strong weaving continuity

The system becomes especially valuable on larger weaving projects where repeats can become long and mentally demanding to track.

Reducing Errors in Complex Weaving

Compatible with Most Weaving Software

TempoTreadle II uses the standard WIF (Weaving Information File) format, compatible with most modern weaving software.

In most cases, simply export the draft as a WIF file from your preferred weaving software.

This allows complex weaving sequences to be followed without requiring a computer directly beside the loom.
