Not everything in your weaving studio needs to come from a weaving or yarn store. Here is a list of items in my studio from the hardware store:

Before making any decisions about heddles, it is important to figure out how many you will use on each shaft (by checking the draft).

I am new to eight shafts and am wondering how to do tabby (plain weave) on an 8-shaft loom?

Recently, as I have been working with finer threads, I am finding my weft gets distorted, becoming like waves as I advance the warp and the fabric rolls over the breast beam. What can I do to prevent this?

The yarn is core spun with just a bit of glitz, and it is the star in this sassy woven satchel.

I’d love to make more baby blankets with fringe if there is a “fix” for the problem.

One of the best parts of working for Handwoven is getting to know and learn from Interweave founder Linda Ligon.

I have recently watched your Weaving Well DVD and picked up many ideas that will be helpful in my weaving. I have now begun to use S-hooks to weight my floating selvedges.

Maxima and I met several years ago when I was searching for a weaver to teach me the bandweaving style used in the remote rural communities of the central Bolivian highlands.

Scottish weavers have a pattern they call barleycorn? What is it, and is it the same as American barley corn?

To weave well, you must also be able to unweave well.

I have found that different measuring tools help in different ways to improve my weaving speed and process.
