- Page 2 The kiln dried silver beech timber should be first sanded smooth and then sealed before assembly. This protects it from climatic changes and staining and enhances its character and beauty. Our natural Ashford Wax Finish Kit is ideal for this purpose and is available from your local Ashford dealer.
- Page 3 ASSEMBLY You need a screw driver and hammer. NOTE: Please read finishing instructions before assembling. Rub Candle wax or soap on the screws. Attach the feet to the base with screws. Not too tight! Twist feet parallel to base. Glue the spacer dowel between the 2 uprights, then immediately glue uprights in place and secure with screws on the back side of the loom.
- Page 4 Round 2 Take the thread around the pegs as Tension block in this position to start shown. The thread up and around the tension block. Round 2 Repeat Round 1 and Round 2 until finished Round 1 leash pegs Round 2 Undo the first warp thread from the warp starter.
- Page 5 Fold each leach in half and tie a knot 1cm (3/8”) from the end. Take the leash over the lower peg, up between the centre threads, over a top thread and down and around the same peg. The idea is to attach a leash to all the top threads.
- Page 6 SHED 1 SHED 2 GET READY TO WEAVE Open out the feet so the loom stands upright. Clamp the loom to the table. SHUTTLE WIND the weft thread onto the shuttle. Usually the weft thread is the same colour as the edge threads.
- Page 7 MAKE SHED 2 Pass the shuttle into the space between the threads. Pull the shuttle towards the last row firmly. Do not move the first row forward. Pull the shuttle out of the space – pull the weft thread tightly. The weft threads will move together closely so you cannot see the weft at all through the warp.
