Weaving Club FAQ

I want to join a weaving club. Which one would be best?

It depends on where you are on your weaving journey and what you are looking for. If you want to work on new projects as soon as they are released, join a kit club. If you enjoy choosing your own projects with your own timing, online plus yarn bundles might be a good match. If you want both, join a kit club and an online club.

What is the difference between an Online membership and an Online+ membership?

The Online+ membership includes access to all zoom meetings. The Online does not. Other than that, the content is identical.

What weaving width do I need for the club projects?

Most patterns are written for weaving widths from 15"-22". All patterns include directions for decreasing or increasing the weaving width. and there are weavers in the clubs who make the projects at 10” wide, all the way up to 32” wide.

Can I opt-out of individual kits?

Yes, you can opt out of individual kits between the 17th-21st of the project reveal month. This option is available through your customer account on Subbly (which is different from your customer account on the main website). More information and links are available here.

What is a Learn, Build, and Create club and is it right for me?

The Learn, Build, and Create club is an optional add-on to your kit club membership. For $25 extra you receive access to all patterns and additional resources and videos that are relevant to the kit. You also receive access to Zoom meetings with Dena, which happen 3-4 times per month on a schedule that shifts to accommodate people with different scheduling needs.

What happens at a zoom meeting? Is this right for me?

Meetings are scheduled at different times and days to accommodate weavers in different time zones on different schedules with all levels of experience and all loom types meeting together. Meetings are casual and friendly. Topics discussed are varied and determined by the needs of participants.

We take the time to go into great depth on topics of interest and work with weavers to strategize specific issues. Questions about anything weaving related are welcome.

What are add/Change Days?

Add/Change Days happen on the five days after a new project is revealed (17th-21st of the month). There are daily zoom meetings that are open to all club members during this time to help you plan your project and know what to order, and to talk anything weaving related. All kit surveys should be filled out by midnight on the 21st of the month.

When and how will I be charged for a kit?

You will be charged for your first kit when you sign up for the weaving clubs. For subsequent kits, charges will go through on the 22nd of the reveal month. Basic kits cost $55 per month. US shipping is $9.75, Canadian shipping is $29, shipping to other countries is $40. You will have the option of adding on extra yarn (at a 10% discount), past kits and patterns, or upgrade to the Learn, Build, and Create club for $25. All additions through our club shop, will also be charged on the 22nd of the month.

What other benefits are part of the kit clubs?

You will receive 10% off and free shipping of any additional yarn ordered during add/change days. Any other supplies ordered through our shop at that time will also have free shipping. Your first club shipment includes a Brassard cotton color card. We will welcome you into our wonderful Facebook weaving club group, and provide you with your very own weaving cheering squad!

Once I sign up for an Online or Online membership, can I cancel it or change it?

You can cancel your online membership at any time but because of the vast quantity of content that is included with a basic membership, it is not possible to refund your annual payment if you cancel your membership before your annual renewal date. 

If I am a part of the Online or Online+ clubs, do I get any discounts on yarn?

Your membership includes a $5 off coupon for each yarn bundle offered (limit 1 coupon per yarn bundle).

If I am a part of the Online or Online+ clubs, when do the new patterns become available to me?

Expect a 1-2 month lapse between Kit Club project release and new units becoming available in Vermont Weaving Online.

For the Kit Clubs, can I change the pattern I receive based on which loom I have available? Can I change the colors?

You can change patterns to a different loom type within the project and you can switch out colors. A survey is available during add/change days so you can easily let us know what you want.
