Manitoba Weavers and Fibre Artists
An Introductory Course to Weaving on a 4 harness loom
The weaving course is usually given on three consecutive Sunday afternoons from 1pm until 5pm. We cover warping the loom, plain weave, twills and other weave structures. We also cover planning a project, yardage calculations and suppliers among other tips and tricks. We supply a loom which you take home between classes to work on and all supplies needed. The cost is $310.00 for non-members of the Manitoba Weavers and Fibre Artists and $270.00 for members.
we’re about warps and wefts

A Guild Challenge to develop a weaving draft from what members vote as our “best”.
Tea Towels
A Tea Towel Throwdown was held November 2022 with the goal of developing a weaving draft of the MWFA Best Tea Towel. Nineteen tea towels were entered and over 30 members in attendance voted on: Best Structure, Best Color, Best Hand, Best Size and Best Finishing. More information, pictures and the draft can be found at button below.
