Ashford 32″ Table Loom Shuttle Race | 80cm Upgrade Kit

Conquer the Wide Throw

In 2026, weaving 32-inch wide blankets or table linens is a delight—until the shuttle falls through the warp. Throwing a shuttle across an 80cm span without support requires a perfect arc. The Ashford Shuttle Race removes this difficulty by providing a solid wooden bridge. Your shuttle now has a dedicated “runway,” ensuring it enters and exits the shed at the exact same height every time, which is the secret to achieving those perfectly straight, professional selvedges.

Protect Your Investment

Wide warps often mean higher tension and more threads that can potentially snag. The shuttle race acts as a protective barrier, keeping the weight of the shuttle off your delicate bottom warp threads. Because it is factory-lacquered to a glass-smooth finish, it provides a frictionless surface that won’t abrade your yarn, even when working with fine silks or high-twist linens.

Precision Fit for 32″ Looms

This kit is engineered specifically for the Ashford 80cm (32″) 4-shaft and 8-shaft folding table looms. It mounts directly to your existing beater assembly without interfering with the loom’s signature ability to fold flat. Whether you are weaving in your studio or taking your wide loom to a workshop, the shuttle race stays securely in place, ready to perform.
