Log Cabin Placemats
The Log Cabin Placemats pattern is perfect for learning how to weave finer yarns with two heddles, especially with the log cabin border.
Have you ever wanted to try weaving but felt intimidated by the equipment and process? In these workshops, we’ll show you how to get started with weaving quickly and easily with a rigid heddle loom. From setting up the loom to creating your first woven project, you’ll learn all the basics of this craft in no time!
Begin with our Rigid Heddle Weaving Basic course to learn how to use a rigid heddle loom for the first time. The next steps would include Colour & Weave and Clasped Warp & Weft techniques with rigid heddle. We’ve create a study guide to help pull together these concepts as well!
Explore new techniques to expand your rigid heddle weaving world! Add a second heddle and some pickup sticks to create texture in your handwoven cloth!
The Log Cabin Placemats pattern is perfect for learning how to weave finer yarns with two heddles, especially with the log cabin border.
This small sampler is a learning piece to explore how to weave multiple layers of cloth simultaneously using two heddles and four pick-up sticks. You’ll have fun learning the different ways of connecting the layers.
A gamp is a sampler, a weaver’s way of using a single warp to test out multiple ideas. It could be a colour gamp or a weave structure gamp or in this case a gamp that explores colour patterns. Colour and Weave is not a weave structure but rather a pattern, in the sense that it is simply plain weave with the addition of colour effects through alternating light and dark threads.
The first warp uses an easy all over houndstooth colour sequence leaving areas of solid yellow and white just like you would have in a fried egg and the second shows you how to use just a bit of striping to create a colour and weave highlight in the corner of your towels with a more muted scrambled egg palette where buttery and deep yellow combine. Mix and match and make them your own.
Handwoven Scarf Pattern. Weave different houndstooth scarf patterns using a rigid heddle loom, 4-shaft, or 8-shaft loom.
Handwoven Scarf Pattern. Using gradient hand-dyed sock blanks as the main ingredient, we’re exploring optical colour mixing, drape, and texture through a series of handwoven scarves.

Handwoven Towel Pattern. Create a simple gradient in the warp by using a combination of six colours in the warp. Then weave with a rainbow of weft hues to create six completely different looks to your kitchen towels.
Handwoven Shawl Pattern. Weave a 15-hue colour gamp using sock yarn in plain weave. Enjoy the interactions of colour between these fifteen hues of a spectrum and weave your own colour gamp shawl. Work with gradient mini-skein sets or limit your colour selections to just analogous colours. The options are infinite!
Weave a beautifully soft and simple scarf that can be customized through colour. Choose a hand-dyed or handpainted sock yarn for the warp and create your cloth with a variety of colours in the weft to enjoy the colour interactions.
Weave a beautifully elegant and silky scarf that can be customized through colour. Choose a range of hand-dyed semi-solid sock yarns for the warp and bring them all together with a single hand-dyed lace yarn.

Leno uses a pickup stick to twist alternating warp ends around each other, creating a pattern that is held in place with a single weft pick. There are multiple ways to do this on a rigid heddle loom. I’ll show you how it’s done for the Leno napkins pattern designed by Christine Jablonski for Gist and then a few variations.
Learn about tensioning sticks and S-hooks used in weaving.

We’re so excited to share with you to our newest weaving workshop, which introduces new ways of working with a rigid heddle loom – Clasped Warp & Weft on Rigid Heddle, taught by Amanda Wood!
The rigid heddle is a wonderful tool for weaving small projects like scarves and cowls, and in this new course, Amanda teaches two-colour interlocking projects to create two very different scarf projects. Interlocking, clasping two yarns of different colours around each other and using them as one, allows us to shift colours, texture and pattern in both the warp and weft in new ways. It’s like freestyle drawing with our yarn! Interlocking in the warp allows a fluid, organic colour shift, and interlocking in the weft can create a more structured, graphic contrast and transition between two colours.

We`ll see you there!
