Expand your weaving repertoire! This subscription box delivers 12 projects in 4 shipments (three projects per box, one box per quarter) from 4 different designers over the course of a year. Each quarter's collection will explore a technique or theme in depth, designed to build your confidence and expertise with your rigid heddle loom.
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, Dwella, Mallo, Ode, and 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
Tammy Bast has designed the first box of 2026, Sliding Sticks. It will walk you through three pick-up stick projects (a table runner, scarf, and set of napkins) that create beautiful and intricate designs usually woven on shaft looms. The magic here is that all of the sticks slide past each other (even the 4-stick project), so that once you set up your stick pattern, you don’t need to remove or replace them while weaving. This collection is a natural evolution of Box 3, featuring Huck and Swedish Lace projects. While previous pick-up stick experience is helpful, it is not necessary.
You will need a 24-25” rigid heddle loom, 10 and 12-12.5 dent heddles, 4 pick-up sticks, and stick shuttles or boat shuttles and bobbins.
Projects will vary in width, with some requiring up to 24" of weaving space 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.
When you sign up, you will be charged $200 for your first box, which will ship immediately. Subsequent boxes (new designer, new projects) will be billed at $200 each on the 10th of April, July, and October, and will ship within a week of your card being charged. The patterns for each box will be delivered via email after each quarterly charge. Shipping is free if you’re in the continental US.
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.
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.
