Nichola reviewed: Weave a scarf in a day - handloom weaving

"I recently completed this 'weave a scarf in a day' course and i thouroughly enjoyed every minute! Anne was so helpful, from choosing the right yarns, showing us how to set up our looms and giving us tips throughout the weaving to help us get the best finished product. I am so in love with my scarf and i cannot wait to get back on a loom and make more creations!! Will definitely recommend to friends, fantastic course, fantastic tutor, and lovely venue. 10/10 ?"

Helen Barnes reviewed: weaving patterns with pick-up sticks

"I really enjoyed the workshop and was great step up from Weave a scarf. We learnt how to use pick up sticks and make patterns, it was clear and the the handouts will help to weave at home. I will happily be signing up for more weaving days ."

Mary Cockroft reviewed: weaving patterns with pick-up sticks

"This course was a really good follow-up to the Weave A Scarf in a Day course, introducing the possibility of varying scarves (in my case) with patterns produced using pick-up sticks. Anne is a superb teacher, it would have taken me forever to work out how to create the patterns using a book. Some things need live teaching! I am surprised that it was possible to produce a quite impressive sampler in 3 hours! So now I and my new loom are all set for producing Christmas scarves with variations."

"I really enjoyed my ‘Weave a scarf in a day’ course with Anne. I hadn’t done any weaving before and she patiently explained and helped with every step of the process - I’m very pleased with my scarf and was inspired to order a loom so I can make more. I will have a wonderful new hobby! Thanks Anne."

Mary Cockroft reviewed: Weave a scarf in a day - handloom weaving

"This was an absolutely excellent introduction to weaving, and yes, it is indeed possible to weave a scarf - quite a long scarf too - in a day! Anne is a really good teacher and I came home feeling so encouraged and inspired that I have already bought a small loom on which to try out my new skills. The day was also fun and therapeutic - there is nothing like focusing for a few hours on something creative to restore one’s sense of wellbeing. Thank you!"

"What a fabulous class, everyone was buzzing throughout the whole day, Anne is a great tutor and the students all went home with the most amazing scarves. Four of them have since expanded on their new weaving addiction and bought looms!"

Joan Wilkinson reviewed: Weave a scarf in a day - handloom weaving

"I had a very enjoyable day at Ripley. This was a technique I had always wanted to try and I was not disappointed with what I learned in six hours. I now am the proud owner of a scarf I can say 'I made myself', with a lot of help from Anne, and it has already been admired. Anne is a very patient teacher who was very willing to impart of her knowledge. It is certainly a day I would love to repeat. Thank you Anne Joan"

louise pope reviewed: Weave a scarf in a day - handloom weaving

"What a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a day. Anne was great at building our confidence over the course of the day, so much so that everyone left the course with a beautiful wearable scarf and a real sense of what might be possible if we wanted to pursue this type of weaving as a pastime. I particularly valued the selection of yarns available to choose and Anne's great input on colour and texture combinations that will work together to give you the style of scarf you are hoping to achieve. She's a great tutor!"

"Fantastic day. Anne was a very knowledgable and patient tutor and because there were only 6 participants she could give us all the 1 to 1 attention we needed. Lovely venue at South Square, Thornton with a fab veggie cafe. Delighted with my finished scarf. Highly recommended"

Catherine Archer reviewed: Weave a scarf in a day - handloom weaving

"Had such a good day with Anne. She’s a brilliant teacher, imparting her knowledge with warmth and humour. I’d brought my own yarn but the others were able to select wools from those she had brought along and we all produced lovely scarves to take home. April was the perfect host, keeping us supplied with refreshments and encouragement. Couldn’t recommend too highly."

"Following the hand weaving day in Halifax I did eventually purchase a small rigid heddle loom, and completed my first scarf last week. A big thank you to Anne for introducing me to hand weaving. I find it very therapeutic and am loving the flexibility of having such a small loom."

"Fantastic workshop for anyone looking for an introduction to weaving. I am visually impaired which made it a daunting thought, but Anne and the venue were nothing but helpful and supportive throughout. The workshop went at a good pace matched to the group and I came away with the basic principles and a scarf."
