Log Cabin Table Runner series

The newest series on my Weaving Lessons Channel is a beautiful table runner that utilises the log cabin technique. This is a colour and weave technique on a rigid heddle loom that looks very complicated but is all about the colour order and arrangement.

The exciting news is that this project is also my first PDF weaving pattern in my Etsy shop! Hopefully it will be the first of many patterns for me.

And if you don’t fancy a table runner, how about a gorgeous scarf?

So many possibilities with a striking pattern and simple loom!

Houndstooth sampler placemats

I present you with the newest lesson on my Weaving Lessons channel!

I haven’t really delved into colour and weave in any previous lessons and I thought it was high time to explore these fascinating techniques with you.

Like much of rigid heddle weaving, houndstooth is deceptively simple. The weave structure is plain weave, the wow factor comes from the threading of colours. The lesson includes detailed video instructions as well as a printable PDF with extra information and calculations.

Perfect for beginner weavers and a quick project for the more experienced, I hope you can join me for this one!

Slouchy satchel bag – new lessons

Remember that gorgeous looking warp from my last post? This is the result! The whole project was woven on the rigid heddle loom with two heddles but different techniques. The bag was woven as a tube so it’s completely seamless, and the strap was woven as double weave, providing a firm and sturdy fabric.

A lot of people have commented on the yarn, and rightly so, it is wonderful. It’s called Bloom and is available from Bendigo Woollen Mills.

If you’re interested in weaving your own bag, the lessons are available on my Weaving Lessons channel and include all the instructions you will need from materials, warping, sewing and finishing.

I look forward to seeing you there!
