Learn the fun skill of finger weaving!
Finger weaving is found in many cultures worldwide. This kit comes with instructions and materials for making a very fine weaving. In finger weaving a vertical “warp” yarn on one side becomes a horizontal weaver “weft” yarn as it passes through the “shed” to create a design. Once you learn the technique of finger weaving you can make other designs, different sizes, using all kinds of yarn types and weights.

If you’re a beginner to weaving, no worries—we have a weaving kit specifically made for beginners. Browse our website to view our yarn weaving kits in more detail.
BASKETRY
The four main types of basketry are coiling, plaiting, twining and wicker. Each type requires different types of materials and has many variations of designs, shapes, sizes and techniques. Our kits are designed with the beginner in mind. However, we also offer many kits for the more advanced basket maker, who is willing to put in several hours to complete a more elaborate pattern. Many of our kits include design templates so that you can create your own patterns and order supplies from us as needed.
POTTERY
Pottery is also a traditional craft that most cultures that had access to clay performed. Pots were made for practical uses such as foods storage and preparation, as well as ceremonial and decorative purposes. Today we still enjoy handmade pottery made by artisans and sold in many galleries across the world. We have developed our pottery kits so that you can complete an air-dried pinch pot and decorate it with as many decorative design options as you like.
OTHER CRAFTS
People are extremely creative and when there is a need for something, it can be made. We have also included several other craft kits such as weaving, ornaments, noise making instruments, rock carvings.

The thread was tiny, the wood sticks are cheap made. Not worth the money.
