Janette Kirman reviewed: Frame loom weaving: A comprehensive guide to becoming a weaver - a self-paced online course PLUS kit

"Really enjoying this course really good quality yarns. The videos are easy to follow and the written notes back up the video tutorials. I like that I have a course for life with all the materials available to look back on. Ellie is an excellent teacher and any questions you have she answers really quickly and she also sorted out an issue I had with one of the shuttles in a prompt and efficient way. I might have to sign up for the natural dyeing course next so I have lots of hand dyed yarns to weave with. "

Elka responded:

" Thank you Janette for the lovely review. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the course! "

Lucy reviewed: Frame loom weaving: A comprehensive guide to becoming a weaver - a self-paced online course PLUS kit

"I have thoroughly enjoyed this weaving course. It was well laid out and explained. I loved how I could switch between video learning and written intructions for when you need a second way to explain a technique. Ellie is super clear and present each element at a pace that suited my brain. I was a total beginner at the start of this course and I have been left feeling capable of working on my own projects independently. Highly recommended, I loved it. Xx"

Elka responded:

" Thank you so much Lucy! I shall thoroughly look forward to following your weaving journey Xx"
