Dress Your Loom

 

 A simple, straightforward system for getting your yarn off the shelf and into your loom. 

Whether you’ve just started weaving, or you've been weaving for awhile, you know the importance of dressing the loom. 

Weaving is magic. No other craft is exactly like it. Tossing a shuttle back and forth to create brand new fabric is a pleasure unlike any other. And weaving on a loom is a wonderful and unique way to express your creativity.

But to get to the good stuff (weaving), there's an ocean in-between called dressing a loom. This series of steps sets the scene for your gorgeous weaving project. But the process can feel complicated and precarious, right? No worries - I've got you. 

You are formally invited to join me while we walk through the dressing the loom process, taking out all the guesswork and the confusion. I'll give you a system you can use forever, removing any stress from the process. No stress. Only love. (And yarn.) Join me, won't you? 

By the end of this program,

you will have…

 

  • An easy system for dressing your loom

    Step-by-step instructions walking you through the process from start to finish. You can rest easy that you will always have this to fall back on, every time you start another project. 

  • A clear overview of what is important and why

    Because you'll be working on your own, it will be important to understand the goal of each step so you can confidently make judgement calls when things don't go as planned. 

  • An incredible sense of accomplishment

    Dressing a loom is no small feat. Simply learning the process will help you feel empowered and ready to take on the rest of the weaving world!

Chris breaks down each step that makes it so easy to understand. I feel so comfortable dressing my loom now! Thank you so much for making weaving on my 4-shaft loom so enjoyable - from winding the yarns on my warping board, to tying on, and throwing a shuttle. I can’t wait to get to my next project!"

"From all I had read and watched, it seemed that dressing the loom was going to be an intense, laborious undertaking, full of frustration and tears. It turns out, taking it one step at a time, it’s not really laborious at all. It is a lot of work, but really, when you’re done, you’re also about half done with your project."

Still thinking about it?

 
Dress Your Loom is PERFECT for you if… 

  1. You just acquired a multi-shaft loom, but have no idea what to do with it.
  2. You've dressed a loom before, but the process completely frustrated and confused you. 
  3. You avoid dressing your loom because your current method requires 2 people. 
  4. Your current method is physically challenging.  
  5. You would absolutely weave more, if only you had an easier way to dress your loom. 
  6. You don't have in-person access to weaving instruction. 

Dear prospective Dress Your Loom student,

I firmly believe that weaving is for everyone. Thus, it's important for me to offer a simple system for getting your yarn off the shelf and into your loom. Anyone can do this.

There are no complicated equations or convoluted, philosophical explanations. Just straight-forward, easy to follow steps. Because ultimately, I want you to be weaving - not agonizing over the best way to sley a reed. 

My hope is that this course fills in the gaps of what you don't know and gives you confidence in what you do. I want you to bravely go forth and weave all the things, knowing you are able to easily and painlessly dress your loom.

You're exactly where you're supposed to be, if dressing the loom feels daunting at all. You'll have access to this system from now on, giving you peace of mind when you start each and every project. 

If you have any apprehension at all, just know that I'll do whatever I can to help you through each stage of the course, and there is a 14-day 100% refund available to you. 

Happy Weaving!

Chris
