Ashford Brooklyn 4-Shaft Table Loom
The Ashford Brooklyn is a sturdy, economical four-shaft table loom for new shaft-loom weavers, rigid-heddle weavers ready for more complex cloth, and anyone wanting a capable loom that remains light enough to move easily.
Its generous beam-to-beam depth, smooth shaft controls and overhead beater give you the space and control to explore twills, colour-and-weave, double weave and a wonderful range of structured fabrics.

Why I like it
The Brooklyn fills a very useful gap: it gives you genuine four-shaft design possibilities without the price, weight or footprint of a large floor loom. It is especially appealing for teaching, sampling and developing more adventurous cloth after learning on a rigid-heddle loom.
