Rigid Heddle Loom Patterns Collection

The Weaver’s PlayBox

The Rigid Heddle Weaver’s Playbox, a collaboration between Gist Yarn and Liz Gipson of Yarnworker, is a collection of three boxes filled with yarn from North American mills and dye houses, paired with an in-depth PDF guide 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. These are for you if you know how to warp your loom and have a few projects under your belt. Choose any box, or try all three—you don’t have to do them in order.
