weaving resources

I am so excited to share one of my favorite crafts with you! Below are a list of resources that I’ve put together to help you get started with your new hobby. Please note that if you purchased a round weaving kit from me, your metal hoop will already be warped once it arrives! I’ve included resources that teach how to warp both a standard loom and round loom/hoop, should you continue this hobby in the future!

If you've used up all of your fibers, click here to see my list of weaving supplies + links to my favorite suppliers! And maybe even a little discount code or two for you..

Please reach out to me via email at info@hawkedesignshop.com if you have any questions!
