We know rigid heddle weavers have an insatiable curiosity for learning new techniques. Building upon the success of the Weave Quarterly Rigid Heddle subscription, we developed the Rigid Heddle Skill Builder Subscription Box, a series designed to build your confidence and expertise on your rigid heddle loom.

Each quarter, a new designer will present three projects exploring a technique or theme in depth, all delivered in one shipment. Over the course of a year you will receive 12 projects in 4 shipments from 4 designers. 

Carly Jayne has designed the second box (projects shown above) around two-heddle weaving, exploring unique structures and textures that push the boundaries of what is often considered possible on a rigid heddle loom.

Each box/quarter will include:

• Three patterns, each detailed with extensive step-by-step instructions and process photos
• Enough yarn to weave all three projects (Gist in-house lines: Array, Beam, Duet, Mallo, Ode, Sero)
• Access to an exclusive Facebook group so you can connect with other weavers working on the projects 
• Facebook Live Q&A with designers once per quarter

Remaining Skill Builder boxes for 2025 will cover Tufts & Textures, Pick-up Stick Lace, and Log Cabin.

Carly Jayne is a passionate advocate for the undiscovered versatility of the rigid heddle loom. Her focus is designing rigid heddle weaves that are a bit spicier than your standard fare, yet still allow the colors and textures of the fibers to take center stage. She loves dogs and martinis.
