The Weaving Course got off to a great start last week with learners completing a simple card loom tapestry and having a go at circular weaving. This week we will be warping up and weaving on inkle looms.
If you have always had a yearning to try your hand at spinning, I am running a one-day Spinning Workshop on Saturday 7th November at ECHO. Spinning wheels, carders and fleece are all provided. Here is the flyer with a few more details.

Have you ever wanted to have a go on a weaving loom? Would you like to learn how to weave braids and fabric? Well, now is your chance! I am running an 8-week Handloom Weaving course on Thursday mornings, starting on the 8th October, at the ECHO Weaving Workshop, 19, West Street, Leominster. There is a bit more information on the poster below. If you can't make this one, I am intending to run a similar course on Wednesday mornings in the spring.

More lovely handwoven items have been coming off the looms this week at the ECHO Weaving Workshop. And the Weavers have been busy finishing the items off so that they are ready for selling in our shop at 19 West Street, Leominster, or to go to customers who have commissioned them. Here is Michelle sewing up her cushion and with the finished item, whilst Rebecca is proudly showing off her completed rag rug after removing it from the upright loom. Simon is then doing a wonderful job of neatly finishing off the warp ends.

The ECHO Weavers and the Spinning Circle have been busy at Leominster Priory this week, taking part in the Vikings at The Priory celebrations. Here is Michelle on Friday with her beautiful handwoven rainbow cushion that she has just completed. Unfortunately, it is not for sale as it was a commission, but I am sure she would be happy to weave another....... We have one more Friday, weaving in The Priory and then we will be back in our Workshop at 19 West Street.
And on Saturday, the Spinning Circle took part in 'The Great Stitch Up'. Here we are, all spinning away! It was lovely to meet so many interesting and interested people - from owners of woolly pigs who want to try spinning their hair, to someone writing a novel about a spinner and asking about some of the lovely traditional terms used in spinning.

ECHO Weavers had their first weaving day in The Priory on Friday, as part of the 'Vikings at The Priory' celebrations that are taking place in and around The Priory Church over the next month. It was blissfully cool, and we enjoyed seeing lots of people and showing them what we make and how to weave on different looms. Here we are, hard at work, next to the Viking longship, coracle and tent. Do come and see us - we are there for the next three Fridays - and all the other lovely Viking and Angle-Saxon themed displays in the Church.

The ECHO Weavers had a very enjoyable day at The Marches Makers Festival on May 2nd and it was lovely to be part of such a creative event. We took three of our table looms so the Weavers were able to demonstrate their weaving skills and also let people have a go at weaving themselves. Our colourful bookmarks and key rings, woven on the simple inkle looms, sold well, as did our lovely textured cushions that we make from recycled felted woollen jumpers and handspun wool.
We will be weaving in Leominster Priory every Friday from 29th May until 19th June as part of the 'Vikings at The Priory'. Do come and see us there, or visit us at our new ECHO Workshop at 19 West Street, Leominster.

The ECHO Weavers are very pleased to be working in their new Weaving Workshop, part of the new ECHO Smart Space at 19 West Street in Leominster. The move across the roads took place just before Easter and we are delighted to now have our own designated Weaving Area. Here we are, busy weaving away, on our first week after the move. Do come and see us - we are there every Friday.
