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

Both The Intentional Weaver and Magic in the Water courses are fantastic resources for our members. Laura Fry is a passionate and generous teacher. You will find her in the Community Forums often, sharing her knowledge and her latest weaving projects. Today, she shares some insights into her work and practices...

Weaving with two heddles on a rigid heddle loom opens up so many possibilities now. We are exploring some techniques with @amanda_f_wood today on her @ashford_wheels_looms rigid heddle loom using Beam organic cotton yarn from @gistyarn. This workshop is being filmed today for the @schoolofsweetgeorgia and will be coming out very soon!

Fresh off the loom and currently soaking before wet finishing. Happy with the pattern, warp is preserved, and moving on to shifted color combos. I’m hopping down to the city this weekend to work on a few opera workshops in the evenings, so I’m hoping to warp this up and take it with me! Love the benefits of folding table looms.
After the citric acid soak I’ll be following the Magic in the Water wet finishing methods from SOS. It’s superwash but the fiber will rebound a bit, fluff up, and then when I press the pattern will lock in! Torn on whether or not to twist the fringe since I did hemstitch as always 🧶
