We really appreciate your support through your online orders and we look forward to being in touch and hearing about your current weaving projects.

New Warps to Go
Coverlet Band Warp to Go
Perhaps you have woven, or may plan to weave, one of our beautiful coverlets and you would like to surround it with a matching band. Perhaps you would simply like to experience weaving a gorgeous band on a floor loom. Becky has created this new Warp to Go for our much requested Coverlet band.
See below for links to our Virtual Classroom for more on designing and weaving such a band.
Enkel Skillbragd Coverlet Warp to Go
This satisfying Norwegian coverlet is fairly quick and easy to weave, as far as sheepskin-backed coverlets go. Purchase this warp all ready to beam onto your loom at home. No need to worry about the math, simply email your color choices when you order to orders@vavstuga.com and let us do the rest. Details for choosing colors are on each of the Warps to Go web pages.
Towel Warps to Go and New Color Changing Tool
We have added multiple new colorways for our Towel Warps to Go for your shopping ease and pleasure. You might be inspired to create your own colorways and we look forward to seeing them.
We are very excited to introduce a fun and useful color changing tool available for many of our Towel Warps to Go. Designed for us by the talented Rebecca Green, this tool allows you to play with colors in your towel stripes and get a sense of how the towels will look.
Check out the Design Tool for the Towel Warp to Go #2 shown in this picture. Of course, to avoid disappointment, we recommend you use ourYarn-in-a-Jar design tool to know what colors you are choosing, as screen colors can be misleading.Tablecloths too! These towels have a generous width even in twill. The plain weave sett can be used to weave darling 21″ square tablecloths.
Yarn Play Ground
After a momentary web store glitch, our Yarn Play Ground is back up and running in our yarn store. Just go to any of our dyed yarn pages, click and drag the yarn swatches into the Yarn Mini-Playground to the left and move them around as you might play with yarns if you were in our store. Cottolin for example:

Call for Swedish Style Textiles
The American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia is asking our Vävstuga weavers for suggestions on how to acquire modern textiles inspired by 18th and 19th century Swedish handcraft. This is an opportunity to sell or donate a wall hanging, runner, carriage cushion, etc Trevor is eager to hear of any such options that could be out there to acquire textiles for his new exhibit. One of their more dramatic historic interiors represents a colonial revival interpretation of a 19th century stuga interior. As part of their plans for a large exhibition they are hosting between September and March, Trevor will be de-installing the existing textile gallery and re-interpreting the stuga interior as a primarily textile-focused interior space. This is a wonderful museum that hosted a Vävstuga textile presentation last year. It is worth joining in order to receive their lovely newsletter, even if you can’t go in person.
