Thank you so much for your “Learning to Weave on a Four Shaft Loom” on-line course! You are a wonderful teacher, and the videos presented the subject so well! I’ve never done any weaving before, and your course made a daunting subject straightforward. I’m sure I’ll be going back to it when I start my next project to refresh on details.

I had no experience at all but I got this course when I bought a floor loom and it was so easy to follow. I hope you make a level 2!

I recently made a scarf and watched the video on hemstitching while I was hemstitching the scarf. I have watched countless YouTube videos on hemstitching and also have referenced so many books and for some reason could never be consistent in my method. Your video was so clear and so easy to follow. It is the nicest hemstitching I have ever done!

The video course that Gather Textiles has takes you through all the steps from using a warping board, chaining the warp and then tying on your warp to the loom. Info on how to read a pattern, weave it and then finishing your weaving project. I took the class in person and received this course to refer to. It’s been wonderful resource.

ABOUT US
We are a team of career weavers, sewists, dyers, and menders that care about quality materials, building community, and the rich and diverse history of textile practices.
We are dedicated to the preservation of weaving knowledge through research, thoughtful making, and sharing of ideas.
We absolutely love these bobbin winders. They make short work of winding bobbins while adding a beautiful touch to any weaving studio.
Leclerc boat shuttles are a staple tools for many weavers. They have closed bottoms, giving them heft for long throws. The blunted nose helps avoid skips.
These warping boards are sturdily constructed and can be taken apart for easy storage. They can be used flat on a table, or hung on a wall.
This brass hook is a weaver's favourite. The Harrisville threading/sley hook has a sleek 2 in 1 design, allowing a smooth transition from threading your heddles to sleying the reed. It is lightweight, 100% brass, and fits easily in the hand.
Maurice Brassard yarn has been tested by weavers for over 30 years and is made specifically for weaving projects.
This glorious book is a modern guide to weaving, an ancient craft that is reaching new heights of popularity, from acclaimed contemporary weaver and textile artist Rachna Garodia. It contains a wealth of practical advice and tons of inspiration for every aspect of this endlessly adaptable craft, from gathering materials to making and exhibiting ambitious woven masterpieces, bringing in a wide selection of mixed media.
Contemporary Weaving in Mixed Media by Rachna Garodia is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
