The Best Weaving Tutorials for Beginners

So. I have developed a new hobby obsession. That’s right, it’s weaving. I had a fairly sizeable yarn stash because I’m also a crocheter, but wanted to find a new and interesting way to use up all my yarn. Enter weaving. You know, those beautiful wall hangings with the rows of fluffy white roving and delicious fringe? Yes, I wanted to learn how to make those. And you guys, it’s surprisingly not as hard as I thought it would be! If you too want to get into weaving, I’ve rounded up 10 of the best weaving tutorials for beginners so you can learn a new skill, use up that yarn stash, and make something beautiful!

It’s been super fun and relaxing to weave on my loom (which, if you are looking to get one – I got one from Funem Studio on Etsy (aff link), which I love!). So far I have made 5 woven wall hangings, and then the next one I’m planning on making is one for my daughter’s nursery! Weaving is such a fun hobby, you guys. So check out the links below if you want to get started!
