Coming Soon - Exciting Changes to the Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom!

Ashford has made some innovative upgrades to one of our favorite looms. The second heddle side post is now included standard in the 16", 24", 32", and 48" rigid heddle looms. This means you no longer have to purchase the second heddle adapter separately. However, you would still need to purchase a second matching dpi reed.





In addition, all standard rigid heddle looms now have holes drilled in the bottom of the rails to enable you to use your loom as a warping frame for the indirect warping method. This will be a great space saver as it can eliminate the need for a separate warping board. Plus it allows for the flexibility to use one thread of color, have even warp lengths, and better tension control.

You can purchase a set of Rigid Heddle Warping Pegs that includes 14 pegs which can be used for a variety of warping lengths. We'll be adding the warping pegs to our store soon. And we will also be carrying the double heddle kit for those who want to upgrade current Ashford rigid heddle looms. Keep an eye out - we'll be sure to keep you posted!
