In this video, I show you how to weave a soft, fluffy wall hanging. Its perfect to decorate your home with a touch of handmade charm. I'm using my small frame loom and yarns from my weaving kit, which includes a beautiful mix of colours and textures that work perfectly together.
Before you start, make sure your loom is already warped and that you've added a chain stitch row at the bottom.

Getting Started: Materials Needed for Weaving a Wall Hanging
To make the fluffy wall-hanging you need a few materials, you can purchase a complete kit with all the supplies you need in the Complete Weaving Kit.
In addition, you'll need:
Scissors
Glue
A crochet hook
Step by Step Weaving Instructions
This video shows how to weave the wall hanging. We will walk you through the moments of different timestamps in the video, in the text below.
Each section of the weave is finished with plain weave — a simple over-under pattern that alternates across the warp threads.
00:00 - Add a two-layer fringe
We start by creating the fluffy bottom section. I add two layers of fringe, which gives the wall hanging its soft and cozy look. Keep the strands even in length, you can trim them later if you want a completely straight edge.
Make sure tosecure the fringes with a few rows of plain weave. You'll repeat this step for the upcoming textured sections as well.
01:04 - Make fluffy circles
Next, it’s time for the fluffy circles – one of the most fun parts of this weave! I use thick, soft wool roving and shape circles around a wooden spoon. It becomes the centerpiece, adding both texture and structure.
They don’t need to be perfect – the beauty lies in their playful, organic look. Remember to add plain weave between and after the circles, to keep them in place.
02:27 - Weave plain weave with brown and light pink yarn
Here I add a few rows of plain weave (over one, under one). I alternate brown and light pink yarns, which create a gentle contrast and balance the more textured parts of the weave. This step also helps hold everything together nicely.
02:59 - Add a thick white braid
Now for the thick white braid! I use carded wool (roving) to make a soft, chunky braid and place it in the middle of the weave. You can adjust the thickness depending on how much material you use.
04:17 - Weave two rows with wool roving
To frame the braid, I weave two rows with the same wool roving. It adds a cozy, fluffy touch and smooth transitions between the sections.
05:11 - Finish with a chain stitch
When the weave has reached your desired height, finish with a chain stitch – the same technique used at the beginning. This helps secure the weave and gives a neat, even edge.
05:47 - Remove the weave and attach the hanging dowel
Now carefully remove the warp from the loom and thread it through the wooden dowel. This will be your hanging rod — it gives the piece a finished, decorative touch.
06:57 - Secure all loose ends
Finally, secure all loose threads on the back of your weave for a clean, professional finish. To secure loose ends on a wall hanging, you can either weave them into the back of the piece, tie them off with a knot, or use a small amount of glue or a stitch to secure them.
And that’s it — your wall hanging is ready to display! Hang it on your wall, give it as a gift, or let it personalise your favorite corner.
