Weaving season launched with Drawloom DEF
Our 2025 weaving season has officially begun: we recently hosted two weeks of Drawloom DEF. There were plenty of intricate setups, multiple designing sessions, and weaving various projects on the Vävstuga drawlooms. A great time was had by all in attendance. Special thanks to our visiting instructors, Amy Blair and Justin Squizzero. See also “Recent class activity” below for a collection of their weavings from the two weeks.

Want to take on a commission?
We are currently seeking a weaver who would like to take on a commission of weaving a sheepskin coverlet for a friend of Becky’s whose son will be getting married this year. She is looking for something extra special. Please contact us if you may be interested.
