Welcome to the Fundamentals of Weaving!

Join Master Weaver Laura Fry in her Fundamentals of Weaving lecture series. In each of the eight lectures, Laura breaks down a specific topic, such as yarn, draft, or colour, to its core. By the end of the series, we’ll develop a deep understanding of the nuance in our materials, cloth structure, and weaving practice.

Topics in this series:

  • A Good Yarn
  • The Toolbox
  • Goldilocks Zone
  • Drafts and Drafting
  • Form Follows Function
  • The Full Spectrum
  • Looking at Twills
  • Colour Considerations

Every lecture is packed with resources and a bibliography under the video. 


Talk about the Fundamentals of Weaving Series with members of the School of SweetGeorgia. Post project pictures, share personal reflections, and join the conversations in our Community Forums!

I was trying to weave summer and winter without changing my tie-up… trying to take a short cut and just use the tie-up I had for overshot. But it made it slow, confusing, and inefficient. Just taking a bit of extra time to change the tie-up and also switching out a shuttle that kept catching… now this is weaving so easily and so quickly.

Sometimes it’s better to take the time upfront to stop, reset, and make things right. It just makes everything work better.

Blocks!! This is the very start of an exploration into summer & winter on my 4-shaft counterbalance loom. Only two blocks are possible with four shafts, but I can see the possibilities… 

Warp yarn: vennecolcoton 8/2 organic cotton
Pattern weft yarn: ashford_wheels_looms 5/2 mercerized cotton
