You’re Invited—Join Us at a Wonderful Weaving Retreat!

What do you call a gathering of weavers? We call it Weave Together with Handwoven, and the next time it happens will be March 8–12, 2026, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Conference Center in Loveland, Colorado.

It’s designed by and for weavers of all kinds—including beginners who want to become weavers but don’t know where to start. This will also be a great opportunity to try out multiple weaving techniques in one place, with a minimum of stress. As usual, we’ve got a lineup of incredible teachers, including several names that should be familiar to readers of Handwoven and Easy Weaving with Little Looms.

Classes and Instructors

Lynda Teller Pete will be teaching a three-day class in Diné/Navajo weaving that’s suitable for all skill levels. We expect that Lynda’s class will fill up early, so if you’re interested in joining it, get yourself signed up right away.

Deborah Silver’s class about split-shed weaving will show multi-shaft weavers how to combine two weave structures (or both faces of one structure) within a single shed of weft. Deb uses the technique in her own work to produce stunning woven pictorial images. Now’s your chance to learn directly from the weaver who literally wrote the book about this technique.

Dorothy Tuthill will lead a hands-on multi-shaft class about shadow weave. This color-and-weave structure looks complex, but it’s remarkably simple to warp and weave—and Dorothy will guide you through designing your own custom draft.

Long Thread Media’s own Angela K. Schneider will be showing multi-shaft beginners how to weave a scarf in a day.

John Mullarkey, tablet weaver extraordinaire, is returning to Weave Together for a third year, to teach three tablet weaving classes. If you’ve been wanting to take up tablet weaving or just want to spend time with John (who doesn’t?), this could be the event for you!

Angela Tong is an expert on pin-loom and rigid-heddle weaving, and she’ll be teaching classes in both. If you’re familiar with her recent video course covering patterns beyond plain weave on the pin loom, you’ve seen what a good teacher (and creative weaver) she is.

Annie MacHale will offer classes in weaving inkle bands for all levels, from seasoned veterans to those who have never even warped an inkle loom. Aspiring bandweavers should check out her Intro to Inkle class, while those with some experience should take a look at her Speckled/Baltic Pick-Up class or her Three-Color Pick-Up class.

Sara Goldenberg White and Stephanie Flynn will be teaching classes on rigid-heddle weaving techniques including pick-up, hand-manipulation, and even krokbragd! If you’re curious about tapestry weaving, check out Sara’s single-day Intro to Tapestry class. And if you’ve ever wanted to learn more about the inner workings of yarn, Stephanie’s Intro to Spindle Spinning for Weavers might be just the class for you!

Know somebody who isn’t a weaver yet but wants to be? We’ve got intro-level classes for pin-loom, multi-shaft, inkle, tapestry, and tablet weaving. People can walk in to Weave Together without having ever woven so much as a potholder, and walk back out as weavers. (In fact, in the past two years, more than a few attendees did just that!)

Good to Know

What can you expect from Weave Together? Along with three full days of weaving classes, there will be exciting speakers, a marketplace filled with weaving and fiber goodies, and lots of opportunities for community. You’ll be eating alongside your fellow attendees, allowing plenty of opportunity to make new weaving friends—including Handwoven and Little Looms editors. Instructors will stay and eat on-site, so even if you aren’t taking a class with a particular teacher, you can sit next to them at dinner and have a fantastic conversation. It really is a great opportunity to spend quality time with talented weavers.

Worried about logistics? We’ve got you covered! Attendees will be staying at the beautiful Embassy Suites, and all meals and classes will take place there. Lodging and all meals are included in the ticket price.

After you purchase your ticket, your confirmation email will include a link to a form where you can immediately select your classes.

When it comes to looms, we want to balance making it easy for weavers to try new techniques vs giving attendees the ability to take home any of their work in progress. You should plan to bring your own looms if that’s possible, but for those who don’t have looms or who will have travel difficulties bringing looms, we’ll help make arrangements to borrow them from local weavers and companies. Any loom rental costs are included in the Weave Together price, although a deposit may be required.

Want to learn more about Weave Together 2026, the teachers and their classes, and what you can expect? You can find out everything and purchase your ticket here. Space is limited and classes are first-come, first-served, so don’t delay.

We hope to weave with you in Colorado!
