NOTES

Ashford 16” Sample It Loom Construction + Kit Notes:

  • Definitely recommend buying the Ashford Wax, also recommend waxing before assembly and allowing time for the wax to seep into the wood (over night or for a couple of days) before assembly

  • For Boucle Kit - you will need to measure out the warp length to 98.25” and not 78” to get the appropriate length

Final Thoughts

  1. Don’t skip the wax or the finishing of the wood.

  2. Allow time for the wood to be finished (and if with wax - time to dry).

  3. Beat Gently & Mind the Gauge: 5 rows per 1” (2.5mm) of weaving.
