Rigid Heddle Sampleit Loom 40cm/16" by Ashford

I’m absolutely loving this loom! Super easy to use, I’ll definitely be getting a larger one as well in future.

I have an old 4 shafts weaving loom at home and wanted the SampleIt for when I watch tv. I read reviews for 3 weeks before deciding to buy one. I finally received it and added some varnish on very pieces. When I tried it, I was surprise because it works really, really well. My fear was the edges but OMG, it makes beautiful edges. I am used to weaving so it went well on the first try, but... beginners can be reassured: with the help of videos on the Internet, every beginner can prepare and weave easily on this loom. (16 inches for mine). It takes just a bit of patience. I have no regret!!!! thanks :)

I'm looking forward to getting started weaving on my first ever loom. The 16 inch is compact enough so I'll be able to enjoy using it both indoors and outside on the patio.

Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get into weaving, easy to assemble and quality product.

This is my first loom ever, I chose that one after some researches. It comes disassembled so you have to put it back together, it wasn't too hard (the instructions are detailed and the screws are provided). It comes with a small scrap of sandpaper, for the finition (it was sufficient). I used some wood wax too (the Howard Feed-N-Wax), to protect the wood, before I assembled it. I didn't purchase the stand but I'm thinking of getting it soon, so I can weave in any room. The 16" loom isn't very large, so it's not ideal for large projects, but it supports 2 heddles, so you can double the width (which I didn't try yet) by getting a 2nd heddle.

I have a 28" Knitter's Loom and wanted a smaller size for scarves and small projects. Very happy with the Samplelt. One major COMPLAINT though, no where does it say it is unfinished so it was quite a shock when I unpacked the loom to find it needs finishing, and I had to research what product to use, and where to purchase. Quite frustrating.

I have been weaving for a long time on professional looms and I find these small looms do not really work for me I wanted to simplify doing my scarves but I find it tougher than on my 45" looms I am still trying to do a good job and will persevere on it . they are so nice to bring along at my expo/sale but I have only good things to say about your looms with my clients.
