We love to help out fellow weavers by providing different weaving guides and ideas

Weaving Equipment Guide

Are you overwhelmed by the world of weaving equipment? Do you have a loom with no idea what goes with it? This is the perfect guide for you!
 
In the Weaving Equipment Guide, I’ll walk you through a variety of weaving equipment and break it down into what to buy now, versus what to buy later (once you REALLY have the weaving bug!). It’s a great overview of what equipment will help you create beautiful handwoven goodies!

6 Weaving Patterns

This guide is meant as an introduction to six different weaving patterns. There are MANY more. But, this is a place to start. Scroll through these different styles and see which ones call to you. Then, give them a whirl on your loom. Use your favorite color. Add your own personality. Include your own unique interpretation.

I would love to see what you create next.
