We pay your shipping on this loom (U.S. lower 48 states)! The Ashford table loom is wonderful choice for the beginning weaver who wants a table loom or for the experienced weaver looking for a sampler or workshop loom. This is a kit that takes approximately three hours to complete - all wood parts have a clear lacquer finish - and it comes with complete pictorial assembly instructions. A floor stand (optional and sold separate) is available with four direct tie-up treadles (no lamms so 4 direct tie-up heddles only). You can also order a Second Back Beam and a Raddle is also available. Having a stand and not using the treadles would be my choice. . . it gives the loom a sturdy place to sit and the side trays are really handy for holding 'stuff'. The Ashford Eight Shaft Table Loom is available in three widths; 16" (40cm), 24" (60cm), and 32" (80cm). Depth folded is 7" (18cm). Weight from 17.3 lb. (7.9kg). Comes with a 10 dent stainless steel reed, 40 texsolv heddles per harness, and two stick shuttles, a reed hook and a heddle hook
