What is the maximum thickness of yarn I can use. Can I use thick yarns to make rugs?

The thickness of the warp is dependent on the size heddle you use. Typically a bulky weight would be the thickest warp using a 5 dent heddle. However, any thickness can be used for the weft, and my thought would be that for a rug, you would want a thinner but strong warp and then use whatever you like for the weft. That way you will have a strong, but cushy weave.

Can someone tell me as a beginner what accessories I would need for this besides a stand?

My husband made me some additional shuttles because you want shorter and longer (I don't remember exactly what came with it). I eventually got the other size reeds, but you don't need them to get started. The stand is important! in my opinion anyway because you can move it anywhere. Good Luck & Enjoy. I love mine

I know the width is 32" but what is the length of the loom?

The loom is constructed so that you can warp it to your desired project length. It cannot, however, be wider than 32".If you would like a finished piece to be 32" wide and 72" (6 feet) long, strand your warp out to 8 feet length.Ashford has a great video tutorial on their website. All the best!

Does the width for the loom almost reach to the width of a yeard of fabric and can i use sewing thread instead of yarn?

My loom is 32” and a yard of fabric is 36” so no the width of the loom is shorter.. I have seen 1very small piece of tapestry at a display at the Norway House done in thread. It must have taken a very long time to weave. Also the tension of the warp would break the thread. I would not recommend thread.
