8-Shaft Skill Builder #1: Block Party
You can now experience the first installment of the 8-Shaft Skill Builder series as a stand-alone purchase! Block Party, designed by Christine Jablonski, explores the additional design blocks available with 8-shafts, pulling inspiration from beloved 4-shaft patterns from the Gist archive.
This collection was originally published as a part of our 8-Shaft Skill Builder Subscription Box series. Please note, this listing is for the Block Party collection only—if you'd like to learn more about the subscription, you can do so here.

FAQ
What type of equipment do I need for this?
In addition to the usual weaving equipment (warping board/mill, shuttles, bobbins, bobbin winder, warp thread weights), you will need an 8-shaft table or floor loom with a few different reeds (at least a 10 and 12-dent). The project weaving widths will vary, but should not exceed 24”.
Can I select different colors?
No, we’ve carefully planned our inventory for the year and cannot accommodate other colorway options.
Can I purchase only the patterns?
No, these patterns are only available as a part of the full kit purchase.
What skills do I need to complete these patterns?
This collection is intended for weavers with a few projects under their belt.
