Weaving craft kits make perfect gifts for someone who loves craft and would be interested in learning to weave. We offer weaving workshops and weaving kits to suit all budgets. The range include kits for beginning weavers to those who already have their own loom and would enjoy the gift of a weaving project. If you aren't sure what gift to purchase then there is also the option of purchasing a gift card so that the recipient can choose their own gift. A recent blog discusses the range of weaving gifts available and can be found here: '8 weaving loom kits as gifts for the person who loves crafts, knitting, crochet and sewing'.​​​

Reuse and recycle your waste fabric to create a stunning sustainable coaster using a rigid heddle weaving loom
Creating beautiful, eco-friendly projects can be both rewarding and enjoyable. Weaving can be a great way to both reuse and recycle. Not only can you explore your creativity, but you will also be creating with a step towards sustainability. A recent project involved the weaving of a vibrant sustainable coaster from leftover fabric scraps using a British wool warp and a TabbyandTweed rigid heddle weaving loom. You can read about this project in our blog which discusses weaving with fabric scraps which would otherwise have gone to waste creating a practical and attractive item for our home.

Our new 4 shaft extension kit contains adapters for the loom which hold 4 heddle rods and comes with instructions with the option of adding in a 4 shaft sampler kit which guides the weaver through the process of weaving a range of 4 shaft patterns.

Our sustainable UK small business
We work hard to be a sustainable eco-friendly small business. All our our weaving loom craft kits are designed and made by us in the UK. We are proud that most of the yarn in our kits is British wool. Sustainability is important to us and our looms are sustainable being made from FSC Birch plywood which is cut using solar generated power (on the sunnier days). We have moved recently to predominantly recyclable packaging. We now package our small weaving kits in paper bags without the need for plastic packaging. Boxes are made of brown recyclable cardboard. Click here to read about our drive for sustainability. Choosing one of our reusable weaving looms allows you to weave handmade bookmarks, scarves and fabric many times over, developing your skills and creativity with each weave. Our weaving craft kits make perfect gifts for either the beginning weaver or someone who is more experienced in yarn crafts and would enjoy delving into the world of weaving. The small frame loom kits such as the square and bookmark loom weaving kits are perfect for someone wanting to be creative on a small scale, perhaps learning the basics of the weaving process. For someone wanting to learn to weave scarves, table runners and fabric then the rigid heddle loom weaving kit allows you to give a gift that keeps on giving with hours of mindful and creative fun.
