q: Is it that thing that you hang on the wall?

a: Yes. That’s a type of weaving you can create, but there’s more to it than a quick find at your local home goods store. Weavings can be wearable, placed between the pages of your favorite

novel, or even used as a rug - you know, some off the wall stuff.

Now that you have a general understanding of a few projects you can make and if you are a true beginner interested in getting the chillest introduction to my favorite craft, join me for this beginner weaving workshop.
