Join us for our ONLINE Weaving Workshop and learn how to weave on a ‘Make & Do HK’ mini wooden lap loom.

This class is ideal for beginners who are interested in learning the basics of weaving. You will learn a variety of different weaving techniques that will give you the knowledge to be able to create your very own woven wall hanging!

Weaving is such a wonderful and therapeutic form of making. It's relatively easy to get the hang of and there are so many different ways you can play with texture and colour to create different results.

What you will learn:

• Setting up the warp strings on your loom & most importantly how to get the tension right

• Become familiar with weaving terms and tools.

• Making tassles to create a fringe finish

• Various weaving techniques:

  • Tabby Weave

  • Twill Weave

  • Rya Knots

  • Soumak (braiding effect)

  • 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 various weave formations

• You will be encouraged to experiment with colours and textures using a selection of yarns and roving

• Finishing your weave

• Taking it off the loom

• Attaching a wooden dowel for display

• Tidying up the loose ends on the back

Select the “Live class + Kit” option if you would like us to prepare and send you the materials via SF Express.

What you will get in your kit:

• All of the weaving supplies you will need:

  • A bespoke ‘Make & Do HK’ wooden mini frame loom and tools

  • A beautiful array of vibrant yarns (colour palette sent will be selected at random)

  • A Plastic needle

• P&P is included

Please order 5 working days in advance to ensure that your parcel will arrive in time for the workshop.

Select “Additional materials” if you would like to order an extra set of materials for your friend / housemate/ family member to join in with you (or so that you can start making another one right away!). Kindly note, this must be ordered at the same time as the “Live class + Kit” and sent in the same parcel, otherwise additional shipping fees will need to be arranged.

Additionally, there is a “Live class” option if you would like to just watch the live workshop. No DIY kit will be sent. You will need to prepare the materials for yourself if you would like to make along with us in real-time.

Tools you will need:

• Scissors
