Customer Reviews
I just started weaving the undulating twill runner on my 4-shaft table loom and I love the colors! The browns and peach work well together. Thanks!
Great kit
I purchased the yarn through the store. Like all orders from the store, received fast, nicely wrapped. Great service. I purchased the pattern from Acton Creative, still waiting. No response. Month is nearly over and I have not been able to start.
Scoring 1 star for the weave along 5 star for the yarn.
I received the kit quickly, Jodi went the extra mile and shipped it UPS so I would get it in time! The kit has plenty of yarn, beautiful Southwest colors, and the 8/4 is great to work with. This was the first time using my table loom, and it was not hard to dress at all, and is a breeze to weave on. Thank you Chris and Jodi! You opened a whole new world of weaving for me. Looking forward to the next WAL!
