8-Shaft Skill Builder Subscription Box (ships week of 2/16)

Here's what each box/quarter includes:

• 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, Dwella)

• 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

Christine Jablonski has designed the first box, Block Party, around the additional design blocks available with 8-shafts. Inspired by several beloved 4-shaft patterns from the Gist archive, Block Party explores numerous motifs across Bronson Lace, M’s and O’s, and Turned Twill. The projects also encourage you to experiment with multiple tie-ups and treadlings to expand your design and prowess further.

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”. 

How does the subscription box work?

When you sign up, you will be charged $200. Shipping is free if you’re in the continental US. Your first box will ship the week of February 16th, and your patterns will be delivered via email at the same time. Subsequent boxes will be billed/shipped quarterly on the 10th of May, August, and November. 

Do you ship internationally?

We sure do! Please note that international customers are responsible to pay for all customs and duties your country charges. 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.

Can I cancel my subscription?

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 cancel your subscription at any time. Please note before canceling: if we have a waitlist for the subscription, your spot may be offered to someone else and you may not be able to re-subscribe until space is available. 

Can I select different colors?

No, we’ve carefully planned our inventory for the year and cannot accommodate multiple colorway options. 

Can I purchase the patterns without the subscription box?

No, these patterns are currently only available as part of the subscription purchase. If inventory allows, we will offer the boxes a la carte later in the year for $225/box. 

What skills do I need to complete these patterns?

Before joining this subscription, you should have a few shaft loom projects under your belt.

Can I use a gift certificate to purchase a subscription box?

Sorry, our subscription software isn't compatible with our gift cards. Please save those for a future purchase.
