Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Do I need an Ashford loom to use this kit?
No. While designed for Ashford rigid heddle looms, this kit works on any rigid heddle loom that is at least 16" wide and uses a 15 DPI reed.
Q: Can I use a different reed size?
A 15 DPI reed is required to achieve the correct sett for the yarn. Using a different size will alter the fabric density and may not yield optimal results.
Q: How many towels can I weave with one kit?
Each kit includes enough yarn to weave six standard-size tea towels. You may be able to weave additional smaller pieces depending on your layout and loom waste.
Q: Is the pattern beginner-friendly?
Yes. The pattern includes detailed instructions, and the project is approachable for newer weavers who are comfortable with basic warping and plain weave. The brooks bouquet adds a touch of decorative flair without being overly complex.
Q: Is the Yoga Yarn machine washable?
Yes. Towels woven with Ashford Yoga Yarn can be machine washed on gentle and tumble dried on low, making them highly practical for everyday use.
