What Customers Say

Rated 4.8 out of 5 — 10 verified reviews

Designed by two Sami band weavers in Sweden, Stoorstalka products capture the spirit of the Sami weaving style and combine them with modern materials. Sami weaving has historically produced bands for use as belts, on backpacks and as clothing accessories. The Sami (Saami) are indigenous inhabitants of the northern regions of modern day Norway, Finland, Sweden and the Kola Peninsula of Russia.

A complete kit for you who wants to try band weaving. For the beginner or for those who needs to refresh their band weaving skills.

Áhkko is a 4-ply worsted weight 100% wool yarn.

It was easy to place

"It was easy to place my order. It arrived in a very short time and was well packaged. Am looking forward to using the kit."

Chris H. (5/5)

Great beginner kit.

"Great beginner kit for back strap band weaving. It's already warped so getting started is easier than having to warp then weave. I enjoyed the process."

Cynthia S. (5/5)

Fun and very portable weaving kit, can be used again and again

"I have ordered these kits in the past but couldn’t resist getting this again - I just liked the colors. Very easy to set up, you just need a sturdy item like a chair or a door handle to tie onto. The shuttle works really nicely and the heddle seems very durable as well. Just one hint- once you get about 6 inches or so along, make sure you compare your weaving width with the area of your completed weaving that you find is the width you desire- it is very easy to make the mistake of gradually increasing your width by mistake. Keep an eye on it every inch or so after that and you should do just fine."

Lovely kit for a new hobby!

"Great kit with all the tools to band weave and get instant success!"

Jane F. (5/5)

Weaving Fun, and Start of a New Passion

"I finished my Sami band--it wasn't as easy as it looked, but I enjoyed it and I'm putting a new warp on the heddle. The kit does have all the tools you need to finish the pre-warped band, and they are good quality. I'm planning to order a Sunna pattern heddle and the unique fine Swedish yarn to continue this engaging traditional weaving hobby."

Ray J. (5/5)

Great little kit for beginners.

"Great little kit for beginners. Definitely made me want to take this hobby on to make small projects separate from my floor loom."

Marissa Q. (5/5)

I was happy with my

"I was happy with my purchase until I wanted to start another project. It is difficult to find instructions for warping this heddle and weaving patterns, not just plain weave."

Corinne R. (3/5)

Excellent Kit

"I love this kit! It is a great introduction or refresher on how backstrap weaving works. This has been a great project to help me develop the skills needed to tackle my own band weaving projects in the future."
