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!
As always, if you like what you see, please head on over to the original source before pinning and be sure to leave the weavers some love in the form of comments, shares, whatever, to let them know you appreciate their tutorials! 🙂
