(Knitters Loom 30cm Shown)

What a great concept! Use your own knitting yarn or hand spun yarn on a loom and within an hour you can weave a scarf (using both 30 and 50 cm looms) or a shawl/table runner on the 50cm loom in about 2 hours.

Just what we all love.

  • Quick
  • Easy
  • Portable
  • Adaptable.

So what is the difference between this Knitters Loom and the Ashford Rigid Heddle Looms? The fact that it folds up into a nice portable space – you can even a tote bag to fit it into.

The Ashford Knitters Looms also have an easier locking system than the rigid heddle looms but I think it’s redeeming feature is the portability.

THE LOOM

  • The loom is available in 30cm/12in or 50cm/20ins weaving widths
  • It comes assembled and lacquered.
  • New design nylon handles, cogs and pawls.
  • New chunky wide-eye 7.5dpi – 30/10 reed with large holes and slots. For all your fancy & funky yarns.
  • Both size looms are lightweight and ultra portable
  • Kit includes a colour step-by-step warp and weave book, warping peg, 2 hooks, 2 clamps and 2 shuttles.
  • New design nylon warp stick ties keep your warp sticks in the correct position at all times.
