Weaving Kit Gifts - Creative, Hands-On Gifts for Crafty People | Made in the UK

Weaving kits make distinctive, hands on gifts for anyone who enjoys crafts - from first time weaver to an experienced crafter ready for their next project.

TabbyandTweed weaving kits are designed and made in the UK by Emma and Gill, two experienced weavers based in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Every kit includes everything needed to get started - loom, tools, yarn, and instructions - so no extra purchases are required after unwrapping.

 

Kits are available from £25 (bookmark loom kits, ideal for a first weaving experience) to £175+ (complete rigid heddle loom kits, for weavers ready to make their own scarves and fabrics). Browse by budget using the links below, or explore by kit type. Gift cards are also available if you would prefer to let the recipient choose.

  • 'A super cute crafty gift'

  • 'Perfect gift for a beginner crafter' 

  • 'Bought as a gift and my partner was very happy with it!'

  • 'Purchased it for a Christmas present for a friend as I know it will be good quality'

  • 'I've really enjoyed learning to use this. A good quality product with clear instructions, included everything needed to make this bookmark.'

Weaving kits make thoughtful gifts for birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, and any occasion where you want to give something genuinely different. Because everything is included in the box, there is nothing to add or buy before the recipient can get started. Kits from £25 suit most gift budgets; the gift box sets (£42–£44) and rigid heddle loom kits (£170+) are well-suited to more significant occasions.

Who is a Weaving Kit right for?

Knitters and crocheters - anyone who already enjoys working with yarn will take to weaving quickly. 

 

Creative people and craft enthusiasts - weaving is a hands-on, meditative activity that produces a beautiful finished piece. It is a popular choice for people who enjoy activities like embroidery, macramé, or pottery.

 

People who like making things - the satisfaction of creating a woven piece from scratch makes weaving kits rewarding gifts for creative people.

 

Beginners who have never tried weaving - all TabbyandTweed kits are designed to be accessible with no experience. 

 

Experienced weavers - the scarf weaving kits and intermediate kits make excellent gifts for someone who already has a rigid heddle loom and is looking for their next project.

Frequently Asked Questions - Weaving Kit Gifts

Do TabbyandTweed weaving kits come gift-wrapped?

All standard kits arrive in presentable packaging making them gift-ready without additional wrapping.  Bookmark kits have the option of being gift boxed and the weaving beginners gift box sets at £42 and £44 are always presented in a gift box. 

Are weaving kits suitable as gifts for complete beginners?

Yes - all TabbyandTweed kits are designed to be accessible with no prior experience. The bookmark loom kit (£25) is the recommended starting point for someone who has never woven before. It is small, quick to set up, and teaches the core weaving patterns in a single sitting. For a more substantial first weaving gift, the frame loom kit or the beginner rigid heddle loom kit includes everything needed to make a scarf or a larger woven piece from scratch.

 

What is the best weaving kit gift for someone who already knits or crochets?

Knitters and crocheters take to weaving quickly because they already understand working with yarn. For a knitter or crocheter who has never tried weaving, the bookmark loom kit (£25) or a square frame loom kit (£27–£33) is a natural and accessible introduction. For someone who is ready for a more ambitious project, a rigid heddle loom scarf weaving kit (£170+) allows them to weave their own fabrics using yarn they may already own.

Can I give a weaving workshop as a gift?

Yes TabbyandTweed runs learn-to-weave workshops on rigid heddle looms. A workshop place makes an excellent experiential gift for someone who would like hands-on guidance rather than a self-directed kit. Workshop dates and availability are listed on the Weaving Workshop page. Let us know if you purchase a place as a gift and we can send a tailored gift card.

Is there a gift card option if I am not sure which kit to choose?

Yes - TabbyandTweed gift cards are available from £10 and can be used against any product on the website, including kits, accessories, and workshop places. A gift card is a good option if you are not sure of the recipient’s skill level, colour preferences, or which loom type would suit them best. Gift cards are delivered digitally and can be printed or forwarded by email.  Please purchase one gift card rather than multiples of smaller value if you want to give a larger amount.

 

Do you deliver weaving kit gifts internationally?

Yes - TabbyandTweed delivers to the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. Postage costs are calculated at checkout. International delivery times vary so allow extra time around busy periods such as Christmas and allow for customs clearance on international orders. If you are ordering a gift for a specific occasion, check the estimated delivery timeframe before placing your order.
