Off-Loom Weaving Class 1
Learn how to weave without a loom, using a wooden board, and a needle and thread!
Whether you’re a seasoned weaver or a total beginner, these little creations are magical to do - and better yet, you can do it from your sofa!
Live workshops are paused at the moment while I am on maternity leave but will resume in the latter part of 2026 - stay tuned!
PDF instruction manuals for all Class 1 designs can be found below, so you needn’t miss out!
Instruction Manuals
Included in this package are five PDF instruction manuals from Class 1 Off-Loom Weaving:
Hopsack
Twill (adaptable to create a zig zag!)
Dogtooth
Checks & Colour
Steps
Each manual takes you through the process from start to finish, from winding the warp threads around the base, to weaving each row of weft, showing exactly where to put your needle and when, and how to finish.
These patterns are suitable for all levels, whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned weaver.
Start with the simple hopsack or chunky twill, and work your way down the list!
You’ll be amazed by what you achieve, and let me tell you, its quite addictive!
Once you have finished each of these designs, you will be ready for Class 2, should you wish to continue and learn more patterns.
Please Note:
These manuals do not include any videos.
Kits will be available again once I am back from maternity leave ;-)
The manuals are in PDF format and are intended for digital use rather than printing, due to the number of pages.
This learning content is for your personal use only and is not to be shared, re-sold, used for profit or for your own teaching purposes. Thank you ;-)
Happy Weaving!
Included in this package are five PDF instruction manuals from Class 2 Off-Loom Weaving:
Waffle (also known as Honeycomb, a beautiful 3D structure)
Oversized Houndstooth (an entirely different pattern to the dogtooth from class 1)
Triangles
Prince of Wales Check
Herringbone
Each manual takes you through the process from start to finish, from winding the warp threads around the base, to weaving each row of weft thread, showing you exactly where to put your needle and when, and how to finish.
These manuals are a follow on from Class 1, so if you are a total beginner I suggest starting with the Class 1 manuals, which you can purchase here, but if you feel you have enough basic weaving skill to catch on, then you can give these a go!

Testimonials
I attended the last workshop and found it an immensely pleasing experience from the arrival of a beautiful package of carefully selected coloured threads , boards , needles , tape and loads of pattern templates to the joy of seeing my weaving sample pattern emerge. It was a delight to meet you Sarah and receive your tutoring , guidance and encouragement to take it further to express and discover our individual creativity. Thank you so much.

Best thing I have done this year so far for sure!!!
Really nice to use my hands and zone out from the busy world.
Thanks again Sarah for the after care help getting yarns too.

I took this course a few weeks ago, and it was perfect! The supplies, the instruction...very fun and enlightening. The final pieces you make are so cool. It was very well presented and students receive great value for the cost of the course.

I had such a lovely evening and finished the first two designs already!
I would like to thank you for going to so much trouble to accommodate the time difference between England and Australia which allowed me to do the course.
Thank you for your clear instructions, the manual with lots of illustrative pictures, great materials and where to source them, the video, your happy smiley face, and enthusiasm, it was an absolute pleasure doing the workshop.
