The three of us have worked and participated in the weaving, spinning, and needlework communities for decades, and we're delighted to invite you to our new online home.  

A Better Web Experience
Please explore our new website at handwovenmagazine.com. You'll still find the resources we've always offered—Ask Madelyn columns, techniques for all kinds of looms, and community news—now run by weavers for weavers. Here are some of the most popular articles to get you started:


WIF Library
WIFs are great for tracking threading and treadling and for gaining a better understanding of a draft's weave structure. We've recently launched our WIF library, giving All Access Subscribers access to every pattern going forward (and a select few from the past).

Handwoven Video Workshops
With more than 25 workshops ranging from beginner to advanced, one of our most popular offerings is our online workshop platform. Each course has step-by-step video segments to help you become a better weaver. View online workshops.
