News — ashford jack loom

Aaaaah, the lovely ASMR sounds of a loud hand weaving floor loom ;)I do get a lot of comments about how relaxing it is to watch me weave.But would you say that if you knew how LOUD my floor loom is? I would try to throw some oil in there, but I have NO IDEA where the squeaks are coming from!!Tell me, weaver friends - is your loom as loud as mine???

What’s on my loom?Wowser, I haven’t had these in stock for a LONG time! I have woven them as ‘Made To Order’ scarves, but not as stock for the shop  :OWith Bowerbird coming up, I need to make sure all my Dapper colours are back in stock - and they are fun to weave!You can find the Dappers, and the Made To Order listing on my website :D

I know, I know … the actual process of ‘sleying the reed’ isn’t as cool or sexy as it sounds, right??But it is what it is … basically, threading the warp threads through the reed to space them out evenly ;)I use a reed on my floor loom when I weave my scarves - but some fancy tapestry looms have reeds as well (not mine, mine are more basic!)OK, thanks for coming to my educational Ted talk, lol! :D

Isn’t this DELICIOUS??Yes, it’s the ‘Unicorn’ Fairy Bread colourway made into a Cravat - droooooool!It’s so soft, and perfect for Spring, as the days are lovely, but the evenings are still a bit cool :DYou can find it (as well as other colours and designs) HERE on my website!
