Rock Lake Weaving

The colourful heddles on my AVL loom make me smile every time I sit at the loom.

But there aren't just there for looks!
Check out this video to find out why I coloured them!

Hey ! My friend Rebecca Robbins has a YouTube channel where she does tours of weavers' studios and lots of other fun things.

Take a look at this, for an inside view of the new (ish) Rock Lake Weaving Studio!

Every wonder how a towel (or other woven fabric) is made? Here is a little part of the process.

Looking for a unique holiday gift for someone who loves to create? Rock Lake Weaving Studio is now offering Learn to Weave and Project classes.

Learn to Weave is a comprehensive 12 hour set of classes (flexible scheduling is available) that covers the how and why of basic weaving on a floor loom. The perfect choice for someone who likes to understand how things work, and is interested in weaving.

Project classes are less intense, they are half day classes, where students come to the studio, and are greeted by a loom that is ready to weave on. Right now scarves are the project on offer, but if someone wants to weave another item, please ask. This is perfect for people who just want to try weaving, and see a little bit of the technical side to it. You will leave with a mostly finished item (projects will need to be washed/dried at home, and possibly hemmed), and a good sense of what it is like to weave.

Gift Certificates are available on reuqest.

For more information, please PM me here, or email me at [email protected].

****all sorted out now, I can be contacted through Facebook or at [email protected]****

I am having some minor email issues, if your email does not go through, please feel free to message me here.

It should be reaolved in a day or two.

Thank you!

When threading complicated repeats, I tuck the last bundle in a repeat over the front shaft (or otherwise mark it…..IKEA bag clips are great, as are tiny hair clips). Then if you make a mistake before the end of the next repeat, it is easy to go back to the start of the repeat and check your threading.

Rock Lake Weaving has a spot for a full custom order available now. Weaving is scheduled to take place in early November.

I would love to weave the item of your dreams, and I am open to most fibres, and all colours, as well as many weaves.

I am very happy to talk towels, shawls, scarves, blankets, whatever type of handwoven item makes your heart happy.

Message me with your ideas, and let's create something wonderful!
