Your Weaving Toolkit: A Little Guide

So, you’ve been swooning over all those gorgeous woven wall hangings on Pinterest and Instagram, and now you’re ready to give it a go yourself. But where do you start? And what’s with all these tools? Let me walk you through them, one by one. Think of this as your little weaving toolkit, shared with love from me (Michelle) and my dad, Paul.

1. Looms

The loom is the heart of your weaving—it’s the sturdy wooden frame that holds everything in place while you work. Ours are designed to be not just strong, but comforting to use. With smooth, evenly spaced notches and options for legs and adjustable sizes, they’re made to fit into your creative rhythm, whether you’re sitting cross-legged or standing tall.

2. Warp Thread

Your warp threads are the backbone of your weaving, holding everything together. I always recommend something strong and reliable—cotton or linen is perfect. The thickness you choose will shape your finished piece, so feel free to play around and see what feels right to you.

3. Shuttle

The shuttle is like a little helper in your weaving journey. It holds your yarn, letting you work smoothly through larger sections. Ours come in different sizes, so you can find the one that feels just right for your loom and your yarn.

4. Heddle

The heddle is a quiet hero. It lets you weave faster and with more ease, especially on larger projects. Just twist it and it lifts every other warp thread, giving you more time to focus on the art of it all.

5. Comb (Beater)

This isn’t your everyday comb—it’s made for packing your yarn down nice and even, keeping everything snug and beautiful. It’s one of those tools you’ll reach for over and over.
