WEAVING COURSES

With our courses, we will teach you all the basics of weaving, from preparing your loom to creating weave structures, textures, and designs. With our step-by-step instructions and videos, you can create stunning shawls, garments and decorative items for your home.

Fundamental Weaving Courses

If you are new to weaving, we suggest starting with the Essential Weaving course and then moving to the Multi-Shaft Weaving Basics course. 

Exploring Weave Structures

Are you a weaver looking to try something new? In these courses, we’ll explore the unique and creative weave structures that can take your cloth to the next level! Get inspired by seeing the intricate designs and textures that can be achieved with the different combinations of warp and weft. Unlock the potential of your multi-shaft loom and discover new weave structures. Weaving Twills on 4-Shafts is a great place to start.

Handwoven Colour is an exploration of how handpainted and hand-dyed yarns can be applied to weaving projects.

Wall of Troy Runner Weaving Pattern

In The Intentional Weaver course with Laura Fry, we learned how to beam a warp using a trapeze and this is the project we put on the loom. It’s a 5-yard / 4.6 m long 3/2 cotton warp that we threaded on 8 shafts in a “wall of troy” threading pattern. This pattern can also be threaded on 4 shafts, so both drafts are included here. Changing the treadling will produce new patterns.

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.
