Comparing the 3 styles of Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom
A video comparing and contrasting the three styles of Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom. All opinions are my own, of course. I remember looking for a video like this when I was first choosing what loom to buy (before my loom acquisition got out of control...) Anyway. My thoughts.

In this video I go over the final preparations of your warp that need to be done prior to starting to weave your double width project. As mentioned in the video, I was unable to get a recording of myself making string heddles, but here is a link to Laverne Waddington demonstrating how to make a continuous string heddle (the method I use). ua-cam.com/video/ptf-Y8cZhB8/v-deo.html Further, below i...

Sometimes you have to disassemble your loom. Here’s how to get the cog off an Ashford loom so you can take it fully apart.
Super quick sampling

A quick, down and dirty way to sample. Takes about 10 minutes start to finish and then you have a small sample to wet finish, wash, dry, brush and abuse to learn how the yarn will act.

How to choose a dowel rod for string heddles
Переглядів 3285 років тому
Picking out a good dowel rod will save you frustration later. It boils down to two things: thickness and straightness. I suggest 7/16 inch as it has little flex without a ton of bulk. The video shows how to do the roll test for straightness.
Invisible Weft Color Change
Переглядів 11 тис.5 років тому
How to handle weft color changes. Two methods are shown: - carrying unused weft up the selvage - weaving ends in with ply-split technique note if you want to carry up the selvage know that my “under holes, over slots” method works if you are starting the next pick in the up shed. If the new pick starts in the down shed it is the opposite. Weaving on an Ashford 10” Sample it with 7.5 dent heddle...
Thank you. Very helpful.
Aha! This simple setup makes it much easier to see what's happening; now I understand how the magic is possible.I can't believe this video doesn't have a bazillion more views that you so much for sharing it!
" . . . just schnick those extra ones off . . . ". I felt like someone was reading a script out of MAD magazine. Ahhh . . . the good old days. I didn't realize that was a technical weaving term. :)
Excellent review. Thank you.
What a great tip! Thank you.
There's no need to waste time on "hacks" to make the Ashford heddles work with the Schacht - Just buy the Ashford, it's more versatile.
What is that wood thing on the side that’s holding your heddle rods called, and where can I get one?
Thank you for a very detailed explanation of both looms. I’m thinking about purchasing a rigid heddle loom.
Thanks so much for this vid. I am wanting to tryout weaving and I have a better idea of what I need as a starter🎉❤
❤❤
has anyone done a comparison of the 10 " Ashford Sample it and the 10 " Kromski Presto ?
lebih baik ada tuas tuas yang bisa memisahkan benang benang vertikal dan dihubungkan ketuas lain saya sekoci langsung meluncur tinggal menarik mendorong benang melintangnya saja supayalebih cepat dan lebih mudah kerjanya
So which heddle Loom, would you recommend I try if I wanted to make a carpet or a rug for a cello because my nephew plays cello
Como adquirir um tear??
Perfect, just bought a used loom and it was never finished.
Thank you just what I needed
I feel you can sample on a standard big loom. You don't beat with the heddle, you use a little inkle loom shuttle and beat with that. You only warp up the bare minimum front to back and so never advance. I get a few coasters out of that and it's enough to show me what the project will be like. I then use some math to compare draw in and shrinkage.
I just asked this question in the weaving group this morning, wish I had seen this first. Think I will be saving up for the knitters loom!
How much
Girl, if I could afford a "vacation" house, let alone a regular house, I'd have a 48" loom in BOTH! 😂 Thank you for this video 🙏🏾
Ok, so if I have a pattern I want to do double weave I basically draw it out like you did and fold the paper in half. Then I warp the bottom part of the paper first slot then the top fold first slots and continue in this sequence?
Good video but background noise is awful
Здрастувите скажите пожалуйста где можно купит станок ткачество адрес скажите
Thanks for posting this video, it was very helpful for me! 💐
This was exactly what I needed to watch before investing in my first loom. Thank you!
This was an extremely informative video! You brought up some good issues to consider when deciding which loom to buy. Thank you very much.
IMO - the Ashford is perfect. I have bought 3 for home in varying sizes and a further 4 for my work - I am very pleased with all of them.
what loom is this
It is a 12” ashford knitters loom.
This video confuses me. I have no idea which is which cuz it seems like she talks about one but points to another. Boo
Do you put paper between your layers as you wind on your warp?
Nice job. I don’t think I’m ready for double weave yet- but when I am I’ll come back for a rewatch. Thanks
Heddles kaisa mila
I'm math illiterate due to a learning disability. 🤯 you hurt my brain in the beginning
It is a lot of math! The good news is there are calculators out there that will do it for you. Just plug in the numbers for the width you want. Then whatever it tells you to warp- divide in half for the top and bottom layer. Here are some links: www.weavolution.com/resources/weaving-calculator schachtspindle.com/warp-and-weft-calculator/ halcyonyarn.com/weaving-calculator/?finished_piece_width=10&finished_piece_length=10&finished_piece_count=1&loom_waste=24&sample_length=0&warp_epi=1&warp_dollars_unit=0&warp_yds_unit=1&warp_yarn_item_no_three=undefined&warp_yarn_item_four=&warp_epi=1&length_takeup=10&length_shrinkage=10&finished_piece_fringe=0&extra_ends=0&weft_ppi=1&weft_dollars_unit=0&weft_yds_unit=1&weft_yarn_item_no_three=undefined&weft_yarn_item_four=&weft_takeup=10&width_shrinkage=10
@@tabbywoven7941 thank you. I downloaded the calculator . I learn better by watching and doing. Do you know of any video that shows where and how to use the pick up sticks?
For double width? Yes. Video 4 in this series is just about the actions of the various heddles (rods and ridged). Video 3 goes in some depth about setup for the two rod heddles. This series is suppose to be rather in depth, as it was made upon request for more info into the technique I use. I have a few shorter videos that goes over the technique and I’ll link below: m.ua-cam.com/video/95T_QXeodZA/v-deo.html And a short demo without instruction: m.ua-cam.com/video/kE_FFXCXLFQ/v-deo.html
Since your heddle’s neutral position is so close to the back, couldn’t you move it forward to one of the other slots while you’re warping. It doesn’t matter and gives you more room, as far as I can see?
I kinda like the math formulas it gives some added insight. It's nice to see the math written out other people will just say pieces of the math all throughout the video and I will forget all the variables. I also have some math comprehension problems like connecting it to the real world. A trick I discovered that most mathmation's use is if you don't understand something in the math don't focus too much on and maybe later it will come to you. It's really helped me in much more complex topics that I've had trouble connecting math to. I guess my point is math is really good at laying out most of the information all at once, much like an intro of a video.
Thankyou this is something new to me. Should really give it a try
On you’re 15 inch Heddle, the one you measured, you said 60 holes and 60 slots. You actually have 60 holes and 59 slots. Total 119
Yes, but you can go on the outside of the heddle on the right or left side to get that 60th “slot.”
I’d like to get a class set of ashford looms to teach beginners. I like the portability factor of the knitters loom and the fact that it seems nice to work between the table and your lap. Are there other issues to consider using the knitters to teach beginners. I feel like the weaving space of the sampleit would make the experience not as pleasant. I also intend on using knitting yarns mostly in warp and weft. Mostly, I want to create and easy pleasant experience for the participants. My workshop is less about learning to weave and more about having a creative experience.
It can be a bit harder to warp, but mainly if you are use to other looms. The main thing is probably the cost factor. My opinion, of course, but I find the knitters loom one of the most comfortable to weave at a table with. That said, if you get some laptop tables or tv dinner trays, the 10” sample it works very nicely and would be a cheaper buy. The 12” knitters is more portable, though. What fun, in any case! Sounds like a fun course to take and to teach.
@@tabbywoven7941 thanks. So if they aren’t going to be warping the loom then the weaving experience sounds like it would be best with the knitters loom. do you have a website? I’m in Canada so it doesn’t likely make sense to buy from you. I was hoping to get a quantity discount but the Canadian retailers say that there’s no such opportunity.
I actually don’t sell the looms (but you did put an idea in my head!) I have a “collection” of looms because we were testing what we do sell (the Tabby Jack) and wanted to make sure it was as close to universal as possible. I also have a collection of looms for personal use and the hopes to give classes (I was hampered by covid protocols but hope to start up classes soon :) Anyways, I’m not sure who good distributors are in Canada but you can reach out to Ashford directly and they should be able to give you a list (or perhaps a discount for buying in bulk?)
Thank you! You do a very thorough explanation and it was very informative! I know have an idea what to do. When I start a project, I will use your tutorial to help me!
The knitters loom looks like my ridged heddle loom. What is the difference? My Asford Ridged Heddle loom is at least 10 years old. Used once
Generally, approximately how long do the heddles last?
As long as well as you treat them. So if you look after them, they'll last a very long time.
I bought a Sampleit because I didn’t know if I would like weaving. Also with back issues I wanted to be able to weave standing up so I have it on my kitchen counter.
Hello, I also would like a tabby jack, but don't see an etsy shop to purchase it from. Where may it be ordered from please? Thank you, keri
We are selling them at www.tabbyjack.com
I’m really enjoying these tutorials and you really explain double weaving in a straightforward way. I’m desperate to get my hands on a pair of Tabby Weaves. Do you sell them or share the template? I’m in the UK. Thank you
My husband and I make and sell them over at www.tabbyjack.com
@@tabbywoven7941 thank you
How do I get hold of a Tabby Weave in UK please?
This method looks SO much easier than using two heddles! I have woven double-width on a four-harness loom, but never on my rigid heddle. I'm looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for the clear tutorial.
I wish I knew about this yesterday^^.
I got lost with the threading of the heddle!!!!!!
You should try Stodoys. You can get your money back if you don't like it
Where did you get the Tabby Jack and did you drill holes in your loom?
I made the Tabby Jack (and sell them at Tabbyjack.com). They attach via rubber bands- no screws needed.
