The Online Weaving School

Hi Weavers! This week's newsletter is somewhat brief after another busy week away from home, helping to care for my elderly mother in law. Hopefully I will be able to get back to my lonely looms soon! I did set aside some time to write a new article though, so I hope you enjoy that. When you purchase a brand new weaving loom, you may anticipate that it will arrive “finished” or treated with some sort of lacquer. This is not always the case and it’s worth checking before purchase, just so you...

Hi Weavers! Are you really caring for your loom? Think about it. As weavers we often make a substantial investment in our weaving loom and tools. But there is more to just assembling a loom and then using it indefinitely. This is your gentle reminder: your loom might need a little attention.Let’s walk through what that looks like...

Hi Weavers! To all of my US friends, Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a truly blessed day with family and friends ❤️ As you know, it's been a huge, busy week of sales for me, so this week's Weekend Edition is a little shorter than usual 😉 By the way, if I missed an email or message this week, please accept my apologies, the volume of emails received has been massive. Yesterday's membership Black Friday deal spots filled very quickly, I'm sorry if you missed out. Keep your eye on your inbox...

Hi Weavers! Weaving is typically known for slow and steady rather than a "quick win". But there are times for all of us where life is super busy and we think "I just want to weave something in a weekend and have it done". Personally, I love a more challenging project but does that mean that I want every single project to take hours in the planning, setting up and then weaving? Not at all! Those “quick wins” have their own special place in the creative life. They can give you a much needed...

Hi Weavers! November is my busiest month of the year, and this week was no exception. Phew! I think I've earned myself some loom time at this point and it just happens to be a cold, wet day today - perfect for cosying up in the studio with a loom or two! During the week I released Episode 8 for the Kindred Weavers members group where I shared my plan to get on top of the overwhelm I've been feeling for some time. Firstly, I cleaned and reorganised my studio, which had become cluttered and...

Hi Weavers! I recently purchased a loom that has been on my radar for a long time! My decision was both business and personal - I'm a Louet dealer for Australia and I get asked about this loom all the time but I had never tried it. And then there are the 16 shafts... So now I have a Louet Jane, 16 shaft, 90cm table loom squeezed into my studio. I filmed the assembly of the loom and the stand to help out others who are also purchasing ⤵ Jane Table Loom Assembly Video......

Hi Weavers! I received a question from a reader recently about weaving yarn numbers, weights and thicknesses. It's a very common confusion so in today's post I'm endeavouring to help you decipher what the numbers mean and how to choose your weaving yarn accordingly: What Do Those Mysterious Yarn Numbers Mean? *************************************************** A HUGE THANK YOU 🙏 I must say a big thank you to all of you who visited my Youtube Channel this week and watched my latest video. I...
