All measurements are in inches.

Unless noted all measurements refer to ½ inch PVC pipe.

None of the drawings in these plans are to scale, pay attention to the measurements listed beside each piece.

These plans do not include a reed which is a necessary item for weaving many weave structures. 12” reeds may

be purchased from Yarn Barn of Kansas ( w ww.yarnbarn-ks.com/ ) and other locations. The reeds for the Ashford Katie Loom will fit this loom nicely. Shuttles may also be purchased from Yarn Barn and

other locations.
