Weaving Lace on Multi-Shaft Looms
Welcome to Weaving Lace on Multi-Shaft Looms.
Welcome to Weaving Lace on Multi-Shaft Looms! In this course, we will delve into the art of lace weaving and explore three lace structures: Huck, Swedish, and Bronson lace. Through four engaging lessons, we will uncover the creative potential and challenges of weaving lace with instructor Laura Fry.
Throughout the videos, you’ll learn:
- Read lace and profile drafts
- Identify lace weave structures
- Learn loom-controlled lace weaves
- Explore free-form weave designing in motifs
- Maintaining balanced cloth
- Identifying and correcting mistakes and more
Lace weaving is a highly versatile art form that opens up a world of boundless possibilities. Our aim is for you to leave this course with a newfound sense of adventure in lace structures and the endless potential they hold.
The Weaving Lace on Multi-Shaft Looms course grants you access to an extensive workbook brimming with exquisite photographs, helpful tips, and valuable resources. Additionally, you can embark on your own Huck lace project, allowing you to put into practice the skills you gain throughout the course.
Talk about the Weaving Lace on Multi-Shaft Looms course with members of the School of SweetGeorgia. Post project pictures, share personal reflections, and join the conversations in our Community Forums!

This warp has been on the loom for a year. Each project that I’ve cut off has gotten progressively narrower with each sample. But now … it’s time to cut it off and start fresh. I kind of want a therapeutic kitchen towel project but then I also want a hand-dyed yarn project… so I’m still deciding 🤷🏻♀️ but either way, I’m interested to see what I’ll weave this winter. #cuttingofftheloom #counterbalanceloom #weaving #weaversofinstagram #handwoventextiles #leclercfanny #summerandwinterweave #weavingblocks #blockweaves #blockweave #sosweaving

#fo Before & After: Wet finishing edition. Look at how big of a difference it made! Interestingly, it only shrank for 2 inches warp-wise and 1.5 inches weft-wise. The minimal shrinkage is probably due to a combination of the cashmere not being fulled properly and it blooming significantly in the water.
(Please avert your eyes from the mistakes which I painstakingly corrected before wet finishing)

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
