Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving Workshop

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the foundational skills of frame loom weaving — a relaxing and heritage craft that’s perfect for beginners and creatives of all levels. With just a simple loom, some yarn, and your imagination, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of weaving basic patterns, and adding texture to your very own woven piece.

This workshop will be delivered by Annie Gambrill, Killala Woolcraft. Annie is a shepherdess, an ambassador for heritage crafts and a teacher of traditional hand spinning, weaving, natural dyeing and Dorset button making. Originally from West Sussex and now living in North Mayo, she specialises in hand spinning on restored spinning wheels and weaving Irish sheep's wool yarn on her flying shuttle loom.

This workshop is free but booking is essential as places are limited.

This workshop is presented by Killala Woolcraft, in association with The Castle Bookshop and the Mayo Heritage Office.
