Of Course! There is always room for another loom. This Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom needed a new home, it was looking very sorry for itself with an old woolly warp tied on and a gathering of dust and dirt to clean. But as a weaver I saw the potential in this old loom. It is in very good working order and all it needed was a little TLC to get it up and weaving again.
A good wash and clean with wood soap.
Then a visit to the
WrightTurned work shop, where Skipper got all the working parts running smoothly and gave it a wax polish treatment and buffed it up to a beautiful sheen.
All warped up and happily weaving once more
An Ashford Rigid heddle Loom is a perfect loom for the beginner. It is simple to use. Using one is a great introduction to weaving and as I intend to offer "Learn to Weave" sessions in the future this little loom will be very useful. It will certainly find itself busy once more.
Meanwhile I shall use it for small projects when they come up.
