Our Woven Kin; Online Womb Wrap Making Journey
Womb Wrap Weaving: A Four-Part Online Journey
Weaving Cloth as Ritual • Embodiment • Ancestral Craft.
Warp and weft.
We spin dreams into form,
anchor heart into thread,
and create landscapes of beauty, listening, and belonging.
Together, we weave spirals of joy—
textiles that become places of warmth, healing, and sanctuary.
Cloth that calls us Home.
That calls us Here.
That calls us Now.
After seven years apprenticed to the Rigid Heddle Loom, and four years guiding others in the creation of Womb Wraps, I’m honoured to offer this four-part online series.
This is a journey into the ritual and rhythm of warping and weaving, a sacred container where cloth becomes story, sanctuary, and soul expression.
Whether you are a seasoned weaver or touching thread for the first time, this work is open to all—across life stages, wombed or not, menstruating or post-menopausal. You are welcome in this circle.
What We’ll Explore;
This offering braids together practical skill and symbolic meaning, guiding you to cultivate a personal, embodied relationship with the loom, the lower cauldron, and the sacred act of making.
Sessions include:
- Grounding, embodiment & visualisation practices
- Ceremonial warping & thread magic
- Symbolism in cloth and ritual craft
- Storytelling, poetry & spinning lore
- Guidance for weaving with the Rigid Heddle Loom
- Introduction to drop spindle spinning
- The four seasons of birthing cloth
- Suggestions for natural and medicinal dye techniques
- Sharing circle & reflection space
We’ll meet in a rhythm that supports integration, creativity, and spaciousness.
Materials You Will Need;
- A Rigid Heddle Loom (any size)
- A Drop Spindle
- Yarn for warping and weaving
- Fibre for spinning
- Warping tools (typically included in an Ashford Rigid Heddle Kit)
While I warmly encourage you to borrow or invest in a rigid heddle loom for this weaving series—especially for its ease, versatility, and rhythm—I also want you to feel fully welcomed, just as you are, with whatever tools you have at hand. If a hand loom or a different style of loom is what’s available to you, that is more than enough. We can adapt the process together. There are gentle, beautiful ways to stitch smaller handwoven panels into one cohesive piece, allowing your womb belt to take form with intention and care, no matter the path you take to create it.
If you need support sourcing materials, feel free to contact me directly.
