Hire a loom or bring your own along.

Enjoy some weaving with other creatives and get help with your projects.

Please book and pay for your place in advance so that a loom can be prepared for your visit if needed! Basic warp and weft yarns will be provided, and are recommended for beginners! However if you prefer to work with an alternative yarn type or colour, please check with me first that it will be suitable for use with the looms. A range of yarns, many that are specifically designed for weaving are also available to purchase here
