The right yarn

Cotton yarn or medium-weight wool are suitable for your first weaving projects. For wall hangings, you can also weave in macramé cord, raffia, or ribbons.

Weaving encourages children

When weaving, children train their fine motor skills, concentration, and patience. At the same time, they playfully learn how textiles are created.

You can find suitable yarns under Yarns & Wool, Macraméand Raffia. Further ideas can be found under Techniques for children.
