Fits Ashford Table Loom Stand sizes 16", 24" and 32"
When using the treadles for an eight shaft loom use the treadles for the first four shafts and the levers for the last four shafts, as treadles are designed for direct tie-up only.

The treadle kit is easy
"The treadle kit is easy to install and works quite well. The only drawback are the texsolv hanging cords going down through the heddles, making even distribution of the warp a bit difficult. Still it’s a big improvement on flipping pegs."
Must Have
"For me this treadle kit is a must-have. I'm a 68-year-old woman and installed it by myself. Not only does this kit make it more fun to weave but it's a lot less stress on the shoulders raising and lowering the levers on an 8 shaft table Loom. Anyone with any ability of using a drill and a screwdriver you could install two of these kits and make your eight shaft Loom all with treadles and no hand levers. I would buy this kit again in a minute and recommend it highly to anyone with a four or eight shaft table Loom"
Really fun
"I have never used a floor loom, so this treadle kit is the closest I have gotten. I enjoy it a lot and it does make weaving faster even though I am pretty fast at flipping levers. I suggest tying up the shafts in this order: 1,3,4,2. So that you can use a walking motion while weaving. It is necessary to thread the texsolve strings carefully down to the treadles in back of the relevant shaft and not catching any of the heddles for smooth treadling."

"I love it!"
Just like a floor loom now!
"Love the ease that the treadle kit gives me in weaving. No more putting down and picking up the shuttle - I let my feet do the walking! I did figure out a great adjustment recently - instead of tying up the treadles directly (1-2-3-4), I switched up shafts 2 and 3 (1-3-2-4 looking down). Makes straight draw so much easier. Only downside is it's hard to do a 3/1 twill with only 2 feet (but 1/3 works so even that isn't a huge deal)"
