February Meeting & Program: WEAVING LOOM COMPENDIUM with Liz Moncreif

February 13, 2025(This program will be in two parts, Part 1 (Morning) and Part 2 (Evening). To allow time for the program and Q&A, Show and Tell will be postponed until the March meeting.)

WEAVING LOOM COMPENDIUM with Liz Moncreif

This program offers a discussion with examples of some of the best information available regarding your weaving equipment: Looms in general, shafts, treadles, reeds, shuttles, benches and tips/tricks to help you achieve a better handwoven product…and it’ll make you feel more comfortable at your loom.

Weavers of all levels will benefit from this discussion of the tools that are so important to our work. I’ve repaired and rehabilitated looms for twenty five years, and have worked on nearly every make and model available, even if the makers are no longer in business. I’ve had the opportunity to write blogs on all of the above for Handwoven Magazine. The staff at Handwoven Magazine often forward questions to me regarding loom issues and malfunctions and I’m a regular referral if an owner needs to identify looms or loom parts.

This program will be a huge benefit to new and intermediate weavers and, I give a lot of information on purchasing your first or second loom. My best comments, though, have come from seasoned weavers who never considered cleaning, maintenance or other aspects of their weaving.

Liz Moncreif is a weaver, dyer, and instructor. She weaves custom wearables, goods, and rugs. Liz offers guild programs and workshops in weaving, weave drafting and loom maintenance along with beginning weave classes for Skagit Valley College, while tutoring individual

students in her small studio. She is also a frequent contributor to Handwoven Magazine and their online weavers’ blog.
