Welcome to Fiber with Friends, a weaving-focused YouTube channel
This channel is a place to learn, explore, and be inspired by weaving, whether you’re brand new to the craft or a seasoned weaver looking to deepen your practice. Rebecca and Cecilia share weaving techniques, project walk-throughs, loom setup, yarn and dyeing processes, and behind-the-scenes looks at a working weaving studio.
We are about community and curiosity. We explore not just how to weave, but why, the rhythm of the loom, the beauty of hand-dyed yarns and the connections we build through fiber.
You’ll find:
• Weaving tutorials and tips
• Process videos and slow weaving moments
• Warp planning, dyeing, and loom prep
• Creative inspiration for fiber artists
• Honest conversations about life, craft, and making
Whether you weave on a rigid heddle or a floor loom, love color and texture, or simply enjoy watching cloth come to life, you’re welcome here.
Pull up a chair, grab your yarn, and weave with us.

What time would you be available to join us for a live video. We are planning to start them weekly. We will pick a week day, but we want to pick a time that works for most people. We are EST (same time zone as Toronto). I will add rough time frames on the poll, but if you have a specific time, please feel free to add that in the comments.

If you weave a lot, do you have an air purifier?
We have a fairly robust unit above our busiest loom to help keep our lungs in good shape. Even still we wear masks when weaving SUPER linty warps.

I was looking through my favorite photos and saw this one! This is from 2016 and I was pretty new to dyeing yarn. I’m still really proud of how well this piece reflected the inspiration picture. Do you think we #nailedit?

Question for my community!
I’m working on my “You can weave, I can help” video and I’m using a borrowed loom that I’ve never woven on before. Not to mention, I haven’t woven on a loom like this for several years. All of this to say, that I’m running into problem after problem. Nothing I can’t solve, but problems never the less.
So my question is this:
Should I leave in the struggles that I’m having, or for simplicity sake, and since I want this to be a video that people can refer to, should I cut out the struggles and just stick to the basic principles?
I’m torn because problems are super common and figuring out how to solve them is a BIG part of weaving, but learning the basics can be hard enough without watching someone problem solve as well.

Today I will be sitting down with my friend Cait Roy-Bell to discuss the specialty weaving yarns that she sells in her online store and in her co-op group on facebook. She sells some really unique and exciting yarns that aren't easy to find! You won't want to miss this! #golivetogether
