Learn to weave your own scarves, shawls, and garments, as well as both decorative and functional items for your home. If you are new to weaving, we suggest starting with the Essential Weaving course and then moving to the Rigid Heddle, Multishaft, or Tapestry courses, depending on what kind of loom you want to work with. Handwoven Colour is an exploration of how handpainted and hand-dyed yarns can be applied to weaving projects.
Our courses are designed for weavers starting from the absolute beginner to a weaver who wants to discover weave structures and concepts in a way that builds on gained knowledge. We've organized the courses in a curated path so you can get from where you are to where you want to be.
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!
Handwoven Shawl Pattern. Wrap yourself in a warm, toasty hug of bluefaced leicester wool and silk. This elegant and substantial handwoven shawl hangs beautifully around the shoulders with softness and drape. The colours blend to produce an almost iridescent effect.
Plain weave and twill sampler on a 4-shaft loom. Explore the incredible variety of textures, designs, and colour patterns that are possible with just four shafts and four colours! Here we use a DK weight yarn to play with plain weave, simple twills, and basketweave.
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.
