Woolery Weave Off

 The Woolery Weave-Off 2025 is here!

We're having a Weave-Off to celebrate the New Year and new beginnings by being creative. What you need to do: Weave a table runner to compete in one of two categories: rigid heddle OR multi-shaft. You need to use our Bluegrass Mills 6/2 Cotton Yarn or Bluegrass Mills Hemp Yarn to weave your entry, so we're offering 25% off the price of both yarns from January 20th - February 17th! Two grand prizes winners will win a Spectrum pack of our 6/2 Cotton and 2nd and 3rd place runner ups will win a $50 Woolery Gift Card. Anyone who participates but doesn't place will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 gift card.

Note: We are unable to share draft information of winning table runners you may see in emails and/or social media.

How to Participate:

  • Sign up for the Weave Off (form can be found below) (note: If you don't see a form, email elizabeth@woolery.com to be manually added.)

  • Weave ONE table runner using Bluegrass Mills 6/2 Cotton OR Bluegrass Mills Hemp yarn using AT LEAST two colors. There is no size measurement requirement. You may also dye the yarn however you see fit.

  • Choose one category to enter:
    • Rigid Heddle: Show off what a rigid heddle loom can do! We suggest using 6/2 in plain weave at 15 or 16 EPI
    • Multi-shaft: Stretch yourself, go beyond plain weave or twill. Use those shafts to create a pattern that goes above and beyond.

  • Email photos of your finished table runner along with a description of your project (including but not limited to: your inspiration, sett, weave structure, challenges, etc) to elizabeth@woolery.com by April 1st, 2025 with the subject line "WOOLERY WEAVE OFF- Your chosen category". We will choose a winner (terms and restrictions for the contest portion of this challenge can be found at the bottom of this page) the first week of April. We reserve the right to share on social media all photos emailed to us, credited to the artist. 
    • Photos MUST include at least one photo of your runner 'in use' or how you've chosen to style it, one photo on your loom, and one close up photo.

  • **OPTIONAL**: Post photos of your weaving to Facebook and Instagram and tag us @thewooleryshop or use #wooleryweaveoff
