Join the Weaving Adventure
Acton Creative Weave Alongs
An Acton Creative Weave Along is an online, month-long weaving adventure that happens each April and October. The program has just 2 guidelines:
Weavers of all abilities are encouraged to join in! If you aren’t comfortable creating your own project in the chosen pattern, there will be a kit you can purchase with detailed instructions and accompanying yarn that’s sold separately.
Every Weave Along has an optional Facebook Group where you can swap stories, ask questions, and share your progress. And while the process of playing with a new pattern is always exciting, the entire experience is a perfect opportunity to bond with other weavers!
In past Weave Alongs, we’ve explored Hopsack, Twill, Waffle Weave, Herringbone, Shadow Weave, and Undulating Twill. Here is the Gallery Show from April 2024 so you can see what the participants accomplished –

2024 October Weave Along
The October Weave Along is here! This time around, we’re taking on the use of diamonds in our projects. We will start and finish a diamond motif project in the month of October. There is no registration required, but we hope you’ll join us in the Facebook Group!
If you aren’t quite comfortable creating your own diamond motif project, we have you covered! There is an official Acton Creative project available for purchase with the instructions and yarn sold separately. Plus, we are pleased to partner with Mingo’s Corner to offer instructions for rigid heddle looms, in addition to Acton Creative instructions for a multi-shaft (in this case, 4 shaft) loom.
