5. A web course or workshop
If you want to make your loved one happy, consider the possibility of giving them the gift of attending a weaving class or workshop. This can be a great opportunity to learn new skills, meet like-minded people and deepen your passion for weaving. Most weaving courses are held exclusively in person - often unfortunately only in larger cities.
In Berlin, for example, there are weaving courses in the Weberloft. In Munich, the Damasthandweberei offers courses. We recommend that you do some research online. If there are weaving courses in your area, you will find them on Google and other search engines.
4. Inspiring web books
If there are no classes nearby, books are a great source of inspiration and knowledge. Look for books on weaving techniques, pattern design, or the history of weaving. There are many great titles that will delight both beginners and experienced weavers. A book can not only serve as a learning resource, but also inspire you to try new ideas and techniques. Here are 3 recommendations:

3. Personalized or long-awaited web accessories
Make weaving even more personal by having weaving-related supplies personalized. From custom engraved shuttles to bespoke weaving bags or cases bearing the weaver's name, there are many ways to make a gift special. Personalized gifts show that you took the time to create something unique.
Would you like to give a special tool as a gift? On the At Berliner Webstuhl Manufaktur you can see a wide range of accessories for weaving. Each item can be customized, for example with an engraving.

A loom allows your weaving enthusiast to create more complex patterns and complete larger projects.

Since looms are usually expensive, this gift idea should be discussed carefully with the recipient. The choice is not easy and many subjective wishes can play a role.
