Yarn Wrap Weaving Workshop

Discover the art of simple weaving in this relaxed, hands-on yarn wrap workshop in Princes Risborough. This class introduces the fundamentals of warp and weft weaving, using beautiful Shetland wool and upcycled hardwood blocks to create striking woven artworks full of colour, texture, and character. No experience is needed! You’ll learn how to build a warp by wrapping yarn around a handcrafted wooden block before exploring how weft threads are woven across the surface to create layered bands of colour and pattern. What you'll learn:

• Warp wrapping: Learn how to create the foundation of your piece by wrapping yarn around a block of upcycled hardwood, establishing colour placement, rhythm, and structure.
• Weft weaving: Explore how weft threads are introduced across the warp to build texture, contrast, and blocks of colour, transforming simple materials into a richly layered composition.
• Plain weave technique: Discover the traditional plain weave method, learning how over-and-under weaving can add depth, variation, and extra visual interest to your finished piece.

Through guided making, you’ll gain an understanding of weaving structure while enjoying the freedom to experiment with your own creative choices. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a unique handcrafted woven artwork ready to gift or display at home.
