Weave Quarterly is an ongoing subscription series that connects weavers with fiber artists, offering a window into their studio practices through exclusive patterns and curated content.
Subscribers will receive one box per quarter containing all of the yarn (4-6 cones of Gist Yarn), a welcome letter about the project, and a digital pattern. In addition, the designers will share bonus content which may include their inspiration and processes, relevant tutorials (video or photos) and potential additional coordinating projects that can be made with leftover yarn.
We will feature a new designer every three boxes, and subscribers will continue to receive boxes unless they cancel their subscription. Weave Quarterly will feature a range of projects over time, including scarves, shawls, pillows, rugs, towels, and other home textiles.
Currently, Weave Quarterly: Rigid Heddle is featuring the work of Yun-Hsuan Chang in a collection titled Picnic Season. Picnic Season explores the spirit of picnics, where a picnic isn't just a meal, but a celebration. Through Yun-Hsuan’s mingling of stripes and proportion, color and texture, these lovingly-designed dining linens become an ode to the beauty of togetherness under the open sky. While every project is Plain Weave, the variations given for each, including to which side they are hemmed, expand the design possibilities such that each individual piece is more unique than uniform. Yun-Hsuan’s projects will ship in March, June, and September of 2024.
All Weave Quarterly projects are designed for looms with at least 24” of weaving width. Projects will vary in size, but never exceed 24”. Reed sizes will vary, so we recommend having a variety in your studio, along with a couple of boat shuttles, a pack of bobbins, and a couple of pick-up sticks. Most of our rigid heddle patterns require a 10 or 12-12.5 dent heddle, and we will let you know ahead of time if another size is required.
When you sign up, you will be charged $135 + shipping. You will receive the pattern for the current project by email, and the corresponding yarn for that project will arrive in the mail. You will then fall into the quarterly billing schedule for future boxes. Each quarter, right after your card is charged, you will receive the next pattern by email, and the corresponding yarns will ship within 2 weeks of your card being charged.
Each box is filled with a generous selection of our in-house yarn lines (Duet, Mallo, Beam, Array, Sero, and Ode). We design our in-house yarn lines especially for weavers from 100% natural fibers. Throughout the course of your subscription, you can expect to receive yarn that is cotton, wool, linen, and alpaca. You will have enough yarn to complete your project, and often have some leftover for future projects.
We charge $11.50 for shipping in the Continental US. For pricing to Alaska, Hawaii, and internationally, just add the box to checkout, click on the cart page, scroll down, and enter your zip code to calculate the shipping.
We sure do! Unfortunately due to Brexit we are not currently able to ship subscription boxes to the UK, but we ship to the rest of the world. Please note that international customers are responsible to pay for all customs and duties your country charges. See above for information about shipping costs. We strongly encourage you to find one or a few weaving friends in your home country, and to order all together to save on shipping costs and qualify for flat rate shipping! To do this, choose one person to purchase and pay for the subscription, and have them check out with 2 (or more) subscription boxes at one time.
We think you’re going to enjoy it so much you won’t want to! But yes, if you decide this isn’t right for you for any reason, you are welcome to pause or cancel your subscription at any time. Please note: if you cancel and later resubscribe, you will not receive the pattern(s) you missed while you were unsubscribed.
The designer has carefully selected the colorway as shown. We are not currently offering an alternate colorway. After you weave your projects with these colors, you are encouraged to weave them again with different colors from your stash.
No, these patterns are currently only available as part of the subscription purchase.
These patterns are great for an adventurous beginner. We don’t recommend these for your very first projects, but once you have a few projects under your belt you can certainly enjoy this subscription box.
No. Your purchase of the subscription box includes your purchase of the pattern, and the pattern is exclusive for subscribers. Please don’t share it!
Sorry, our subscription software isn't compatible with our gift cards. Please save those for a future purchase.

Lovely yarn. So excited to be using yarn I’ve never used before and learning techniques I’ve never done! I’m a newish weaver and love the towels.
I like weaving cotton towels but hate the tangles I get when using 8/4 or 8/2 cotton yarns. Well, I am astounded how nicely my looms warp up using both Mallo and Duet. I am thrilled. 122” warp, 24” wide. No tangles!
The Path curtains are exactly what I needed for a bathroom window and they turned out great! I just finished the Forest Floor towels today. They also turned out great and I enjoyed the variety of structures on a single warp. I ordered the alternate color way.
The yarn is beautiful. I'd give it 5 stars but I haven't started it yet. Once I warp and start weaving I can give it another star!!!
I recently got my first Weave Quarterly box and I'm halfway through the project. I love this! I normally don't get subscriptions for this type of thing but this is exactly what I'd hoped it would be. It introduces me to different yarns than the ones I typically use and changes up the colors/styles/techniques I gravitate toward while allowing me enough leeway to choose between a couple different colorways. I am learning new things, trying out new fibers/yarns, and weaving! I can feel myself leaning into the next installment.
