The Ashford Katie is a genuinely portable eight-shaft table loom: compact enough for workshops and travel, but fully capable of intricate multi-shaft weaving.
It arrives assembled in a smooth lacquered finish and folds with weaving in place. The overhead beater lifts out of the way for threading and has Ashford’s automatic bounce-back action for an even beat.
The Katie does not feel like a compromise. You get eight-shaft design freedom in a loom you can carry to a class, put away easily, or use for sampling before committing a design to a larger loom.
If this item is not currently on the shelf, you can still order it through my website. I will order it from Ashford especially for you, let you know the expected timescale and keep you updated while it is on its way.
