23.01.2022 Rigid Heddle Loom Update Indirect Warping Option now available on all our standard rigid heddle looms 40cm, 60cm, 80cm and 120cm (16", 24", 32" and 48"). They n...ow 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 Rigid Heddle Warping Pegs from your local Ashford dealer, if you prefer to warp 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 colour, it saves space, even warp lengths, better tension control. The approximate maximum warp lengths for each size loom are: RH400 - Rigid Heddle 40cm (16") - 4.7m (15.5') RH600 - Rigid Heddle 60cm (24") - 6.7m (22') RH800 - Rigid Heddle 80cm (32") - 8.7m (28.5') RH1200 - Rigid Heddle 120cm (48") - 12.7m (41.5')

17.01.2022 Hi everyone, We are like squirrels. All our stashing of beautiful equipment, yarns and fibres are paying dividends while we survive our days at home. We have time to make wonderful designs, exercising our brains and hands (and even feet when spinning), while keeping our hearts happy. Although we cant catch up with our friends at meetings and camps, we can still communicate on the phone and Internet and share photos of our work with people who understand the joys of creating... something exceptional that will be kept for many years or given to someone special to treasure. Although Ashford isnt open at the moment, I still have stock of most products as well as beautiful hand-dyed fibres, knitting and crochet accessories and advice regarding the perfect equipment for your needs. Email me at [email protected] or Private Message me for help and information. I can post anywhere in Australia or, if you live near Redcliffe, Qld, you can collect direct from me. Payment can be made by Online Bank Transfer, PayPal or Credit Card (cash if you pick up). We can use this unique opportunity to improve our skills and enjoy the luxury of having time to play without the guilt of having more important things to attend to and places to be. Stay safe and enjoy life, Lindy See more
