Here at Cosy Craft Club, we focus on a different craft each month, with lots of resources and inspiration to get you started if you want to have a go for yourself. And this month it's weaving!

So, what is weaving? Well, according to Wikipedia

Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.

The interesting part of weaving comes when you start looking at the different materials, stitches and patterns used. If you’ve noticed the recent trend for woven wall hangings, you’ll have seen how texture plays a large role, with many modern-style weavers opting for thick, squishy yarns and roving, as well as adding fringe and loop (rya) stitches.
