“I can’t believe I wove that. It’s quite addictive.”

— Sally M.

Your questions, answered

  • Yes, you choose your length and lock it in when you book. Just keep in mind that getting the length right matters both ways; too short is just as frustrating as too long, so we recommend measuring your current laces from your preferred shoe before you commit.

    Most standard lengths weave up comfortably within the session. Extra long laces (think knee-high boots) are a bigger project and you may not finish them on the day. If you fall in love with the process and want to keep going at home, the loom set up you've been working on is available to purchase and take with you.

    If you'd like to weave something longer than the recommended length (120cm), just send us an email beforehand and we'll work through it together.

  • The Weave + Leave sessions require lots of time behind the scenes setting up and warping the looms (that’s the hard bit). You arrive and start weaving (which is the easier part) after watching all the instructions. High reward, low effort.

    The Learn to Weave Workshop is an intensive workshop designed for the curious weaver wanting learn all of the weaving process. It is learning the foundations of weaving.

  • The loom will be set up with cotton yarn. You’ll be hooked up to an anchor point and will weave using a backstrap style loom. You’ll leave with an unmistakably unique piece

  • Yes for anyone, beginners or otherwise. We’ve designed this workshop to be engaging and hands-on.

    If you’re up for a bigger challenge, sign up to the intensive 6 week Learn to Weave Course or better still, buy a loom and let’s hang out!

  • Yes, you’ll choose 2 colours from 5 options on signing up, then another on the day.

    They are black and white, green and orange, blue and green, purple and green, orange and blue.
