What students are saying...
I have had my beautiful loom in storage for the last 35 years and recently moved to a new home with room for her. But there are no weaving resources in the area at all. I worried about trying to remember all the little nuances that make up the whole process after not weaving for so long. Nicole's Weaving Process & Planning Guide has been a God-send! It's clear instructions were easy to follow and the topics were well organized. It served to refresh my memory and made it easy to plan and execute my first project! Thanks, Nicole, for a Guide that's clear enough for beginners to follow.

Hi! I'm Nicole!
I am a weaver and fiber artist that loves to share her passion with anyone willing to listen! I started weaving in 2012 as a student at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and I haven't stopped since. I have been teaching people how to weave since 2015 with my in-person classes at local art centers, yarn shops, and a semester as adjunct faculty at VCU. I have taught frame weaving (2 and 4 selvedge), weaving on a floor loom, tapestry, embroidery weaving, introduction to textiles, and more!
I began Warped Fibers at the beginning of 2020 so that I could connect and teach more people about the wonderful world of weaving (gotta love alliteration!) Weaving is a fun, meditative, historically significant, and enriching skill that ANYONE can learn.
