Reviews

Great loom for a beginner

"Solid beginner loom. Assembly instructions with photos were very helpful. I would highly recommend for the cost and transportability. I have to hide it after use from my cats. I be would also recommend finishing the wood. I bought the ashford finishing wax polish."

Amanda S. (5/5)

This loom is the ticket

"This loom is the ticket for portability and quick projects. Great for both beginners and advanced weavers. A great little loom to have regardless of how many looms you already have,"

Theresa G. (5/5)

Perfect for newbies

"Very easy loom to set up and great for small format weaving as I’m new and learning. Manageable and direct. Make sure to insert the plastic ties in the correct direction. You can remove them with needlenose pliers. I wish some of the plastic parts were wood or metal Two extra steps - - I had to find furniture wax to seal the wood (you can use stain or mineral oil or another sealer). Ideally this is done before construction. - I did have to find a corrugated piece of bendable cardboard to separate the weaving as it’s rolled (people also use felt), so keep that in mind!"

I love this loom so

"I love this loom so very much! It’s a great size for making some medium sized projects, and while assembly was a bit difficult for me personally, it was also pretty easy. Unfortunately a bit bulky to take with me on trips, but still very fun!"

First Time Weaver

"Hello, As a beginner Weaver, I find it exciting and exhilarating to approach a new hobby. The assembly was easy and the wood is wonderful. I plan to condition the wood twice a year. I look forward to weaving many wonderful projects on my Ashford Samplelt Loom. Sincerely Marsha"

Marsha H. (5/5)

This is my first loom

"This is my first loom and I feel it is a perfect size to learn on but also to grow with. I have made towels, scarves and dishcloths so far and I love it! I did buy the Ashford wax to finish the wood and am glad I did because that process was easy and the results were perfect. Assembly was easy and didn't take too long."
