FAQ
What type of equipment do I need for this?
You will need a 24-25” (weaving width) rigid heddle loom, 10 and 12-12.5 dent heddles, 4 pick-up sticks, and stick shuttles or boat shuttles and bobbins.
If I have a 15-20" rigid heddle loom, can I do these projects?
Projects will vary in width, with some requiring up to 24" of weaving width and some requiring less. We aren't able to provide instructions for altering each pattern individually, but if you would like to try and downsize them yourself, you're welcome to give it a go! We have general instructions for resizing patterns here.
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. While previous pick-up stick experience is helpful, it is not necessary.
