Join the YarnworkerU Weave-Along!


Hosted by the passionate and always-inspiring Liz Gipson, this upcoming YarnworkerU Weave-Along invites you to explore a beautiful variation of overshot as you weave fabric for a small tote or runner.

The project is designed for rigid heddle weaving and features a dense, textural fabric with dramatically different front and back sides—giving you two unique looks in one! The same fabric can also be used as a striking table runner or accent piece for the holidays.
