Peg Loom Weaving

Make your own gorgeous soft seat pad, pet mat, or rug while learning an ancient weaving craft. Easy and fun, peg loom weaving is suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities. We will go over how to warp the peg loom, weave, finish off, and wash your piece. You can choose from dirty/natural fleece, coloured rovings, yarn or fabric. Use of a loom, materials, and tuition included.

At the end of the day should you like to continue your loom weaving journey, there is the option of purchasing the loom used during the workshop. Kits and materials are also available from our in-house shop.

Sunshine Stewart - My Mama Knits

Hi – I’m Sunshine, the indie yarn dyer behind My Mama Knits. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I grew up surrounded by crafty types both in family and friends, and later studied Art and Art History at the University of NM. I made Scotland my home in 2004 and as an avid multi-crafter continue to be inspired by the nature, history and cultures of both places. Along with being the occasional workshop lead, you will most likely find me at Birkhill over excited while extracting and recording colour in the Dye Garden, quietly loving on one of the animals, or openly encouraging others to experiment with all manner of crafts.
