Ashford's Knitters Looms are made of gorgeous hardwood, fully finished with eco-friendly water-based lacquer and pre-assembled to avoid confusing & unnecessary set-up drama.
Committed to our planet and sustainability, Ashford Wheels & Looms uses "only the finest native New Zealand Silver Beech hardwood, sourced from sustainably-managed forests with Forest Stewardship Council approval" so you can "relax knowing your crafts are sustainable, renewable and environmentally-friendly" -- a value and goal that is dear and vital to myself, here at ANINI Designs.
The Knitters Loom, in particular, is a gorgeous wooden fiber tool that is relatively light-weight, and is making Weaving a craft that can be as transportable as knitting and crochet has always been. These looms are extremely versatile -- quickly and easily folding in half -- making them the absolute perfect portable loom to take anywhere, whether it be from one-room-to-another at home or out-&-about.
This Knitters Loom package comes with everything you need to get started -- instructions, warping peg, clamps, warp separators, hook, reed, shuttles and an awesome, durable and padded zip tote it all fits right into. (NOTE: current zip tote is grey and black.) The only other thing you'll need is your favorite fiber!
Knitters Looms can be folded and stored both un-warped or with your weaving in place. It folds in a moment and stores so efficiently. And when it's time to weave again, simply grab your favorite fiber and loom and you'll be weaving in moments!
And finally, this is the type of loom you buy once in your lifetime. It's that well-made. And, you can weave the most simple and small patterns up to some pretty complex technique on it. And as a bonus, all Ashford Knitters Looms already have a built-in second heddle block, ready for your next foray into double reed weaving.

ANINI NOTE: I own a lot of looms from many different companies, and these Rigid Heddle Knitters Looms are consistently my all-time favorite -- getting used the most often for all sorts of projects, big and small. And if you're a wood snob, which I am, these are, simply put, the most gorgeous rigid heddle looms around. They're so incredibly well-made and beautiful that it was worth working with an overseas company (mindful & eco-conscious, to boot) to bring you these lifetime products and tools.
I'm a Weaver OR I want to become a Weaver...
WHY PICK A RIGID HEDDLE LOOM?
When I talk with new & experienced weavers, everyone is looking for a loom that can get us weaving quicker and more efficiently. We all want a relatively quick and painless warp and weaving set-up and experience, while not compromising on quality and outcome. And that's where Rigid Heddle Looms come into the picture.
First off, Rigid Heddle Looms are the best loom you can get for such a varied and consistent experience. They offer ease of use through simple direct warping and a pleasant and versatile weaving experience. And, they take up sooooo much less room, allowing us to gather our favorite fibers and finally put them to use in our handwoven projects. And, they can be used traditionally as a plain weave tool, but also for narrow, fine and even tapestry weaving projects. Warp once and weave many projects. Weave on your lap, at a table, on the couch or in a tent outdoors! The skies the limit!
