2025 weaving year in review

It’s always fun to see all of the various textiles that have been added to the Vävstuga collection over the past year. We’ve been keeping those shuttles busy!

2026 class registration now open

We have opened registration for 2026 classes. Browse our class descriptions and you’ll see many favorites returning, as well as a few new offerings that are sure to enlighten and inspire. We still have a few openings in Drawloom DEF, our advanced 2-week drawloom class on March 2–13. Reach out if you may be interested. Plenty of additional openings are scattered throughout the year in many great classes.

Please note that many of our weaving classes have a prerequisite of Vävstuga Basics, taken either in person or online. Since many of our 2026 Basics classes are already filled, join the waiting list for a week that might work for you. Spaces often open up. Choose a class, tell a friend, and plan your visit to Vävstuga.

Monthly Palmgren on Vimeo starting in 2026

As many of you know, we have been working on weaving everything in Sigrid Palmgren’s weaving book, published from 1923 to 1943. We are delighted to finally be offering you some of the results of that work and research. Each project teaches us something, so we hope you will enjoy our new offering each month, and be inspired to try out yarns, techniques, and projects that you might not otherwise have considered. Sign up for a free 3-day trial of Vävstuga Video Classes to browse the content.

Questionnaire round 2

We have had many questionnaires returned. We’re using this info to provide the best experience we can. For those who haven’t answered, feel free to add your thoughts. We ask that you answer openly and honestly about what you feel works and doesn’t work for you during your weaving experience.
