The Standard Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom has a variety of widths, perfect for those unsure/new to the hobby, or those looking for a 48" loom to handle any size project!
With double heddle blocks by default, they're perfect for denser or more technical patterns while only needing another reed instead of replacing or adding on another part!
The Ashford Pawls on the Warp Rollers also ensure they never unravel without you at the command. Alongside Ashfords normal standard of quality, at Paradise Fibers we have employees who've personally used these looms! We love them for their quality, easy of use, and extremely robust guidance with videos from Ashford and many others. We hope you always enjoy your loom!

Indirect Warping Option
All standard rigid heddle looms will have holes drilled in the bottom of the rails so you can use your loom as a warping frame for the indirect warping method.
You can purchase a set of RHWP - Rigid Heddle Warping Pegs if you wish to use your loom in this way. There are 14 pegs included in the set, this will allow you to choose a variety of warp lengths.
Some benefits of indirect warping are the flexibility to use one thread of one color, it saves space, even warp lengths, better tension control.
