Ashford Brooklyn four-shaft loom has arrived! I have been craving weaving yards and yards of narrow width, ultra fine fabric, on just a simple little 4 shaft table loom like this. Using the finest weight cotton and linen threads that I can find, it is not so overwhelming with only 16 inches weaving width, shoulder width, therefore it is very ergonomic and a great way to weave longer pieces. I like to stand while I weave, so I have set up the Brooklyn on my loft table which is also my desk, sharing space with everything else, and I can take breaks often to weave a few inches here and there. Just having it there with a long warp waiting… is so inviting. I started weaving my first project, with a hybrid direct warp method, using only the number of heddles for 20epi that the loom comes with. With this very same cotton the highest epi I have woven to date was 30 epi, and I want to be able to weave 40 epi and higher. Even though the inexpensive Brooklyn comes unfinished, I waxed all of the pieces before assembling, and I don’t even mind that the sides are plywood, I needed a little loom just like this one on which to learn to weave ultra fine — at my own pace.
