Gather Textiles - Weaving Yarns, Looms & Patterns

SMALL, SIMPLE, AND SATISFYING

Rigid Heddle Looms

For some people, their rigid heddle is their forever loom. For others, it’s a first step down the path to larger and more complex looms. Whatever the case, these little looms can provide hours upon hours of happy weaving.

Sorbet Tea Towels Kit

Inspired by tubs of sorbet on a hot day, these tea towels are a fun pop of color to add to the kitchen. This subdued pastel palette pairs refreshing minty greens with warm peach, blush, and a pop of yellow. The natural backdrop allows these hues to shine. This pattern makes 4 unique tea towels including a boucle weft tea towel!

Learn to Weave on a Four Shaft Loom

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.
