Easy Weaving with Little Looms Fall 2025

$23.00

There’s just something about the colors and textures of the forest: fuzzy mosses and lichens cling to rough, brown bark while birds and other animals go about their day. In this Fall 2025 issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, we invite you to take a walk in the woods as we explore projects inspired by time spent in the forests we love.

You’ll find projects to enhance your nature walks, including a bottle holder and a coordinating hatband and walking stick leash set. There are also plenty of cozy wraps and scarves to keep you warm on cold, fall days. If spending time in a cabin is more your thing, we’ve got you covered there, too, with a delightful plaid throw, a set of towels in the beautiful browns and grays of the woods, and a cheerful table set with colors inspired by cranberry bogs.

Then, dive into the articles for a different kind of weaving adventure. Check out Alison Irwin’s tutorial to learn how to weave tiny paper baskets and join Wendy Arnott for a journey to the orchard (and the dye pot). Finally, take a trip back in time with Annie MacHale in her article on weaving inkle bands at historical reenactments.

There’s nothing like time spent in the woods and outdoors to stir up creativity—and this issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms is full of things to discover and learn!
