Gist Yarn + Yarnworker Collaborations

Winter 2022 weave-along

We are thrilled to collaborate with Liz Gipson of Yarnworker on several projects. 

Winter 2022 Color And Weave Twill Weave-Along

During the winter weave-along, Liz is tackling a 1/2 twill, adding light and dark yarns to create various color-and-weave effects. You can choose from one or two heddle options, and one of the options is woven with our new Alpaca yarn, Ode.

Sign up for the Weave-Along on Liz's website here, and purchase two contrasting colors of Ode, to be ready for the Weave-Along on February 2, 2022! 

Weaver's PlayBox

The Rigid Heddle Weaver's PlayBox is a collection of three boxes filled with yarn from North American mills and dye houses, paired with in-depth PDF guides that will help you expand your rigid heddle weaving skills.

Liz designed these boxes to help beginner and intermediate rigid heddle weavers deepen their learning and think creatively as a weaver. If you know how to warp your loom and have a few projects under your belt, these are for you. Choose any one box, or try all three—you don't have to do them in order.
