Learn to Weave

I started this page to keep track of where I was learning to weave—books, videos, classes and people who helped send me down one weaving rabbit hole after another.

Somewhere along the way, I also started teaching. So this page now serves two purposes: sharing the resources that helped me learn and providing information about the classes I teach for others who want to start exploring weaving themselves.

This is Kelly's membership site with much more in-depth content. I found this best for rigid heddle looms in particular but she covers most loom types including multi-shaft (floor and table) and inkle.
