A Complete Beginner Weaving Kit Using British Wool and Hand-Dyed Yarn
 
Make your own woven bookmarks with this bright beginner weaving kit - everything you need is included. The kit comes with a reusable wooden loom, British wool yarn, hand-dyed merino yarn, and a step-by-step instruction booklet guiding you through three weaving designs. No experience needed.
 
What You will Make
Using the included yarn, you'll weave two bookmarks on the small wooden frame loom. The instruction booklet walks you through three designs in sequence:
Tabby - the simplest and most fundamental weaving structure, where yarn passes alternately over and under each thread. The perfect starting point for first-time weavers.
Twill - a more advanced structure that creates a subtle diagonal rib in the fabric, adding texture and visual interest.
Houndstooth - the classic two-colour checked pattern, woven by alternating blocks of colour in a precise sequence. Recognisable, satisfying, and impressive for a beginner project.
Tartan - A classic design with heritage vibes.
Log Cabin - A stunning geometrical Colour and Weave design.
 
The woven bookmark shown in the product photos is not included - it's there to show what you can make. Everything you need to create your own is in the kit.
