Christina Garton, Little Looms

The Long Thread Podcast

Christina Garton didn’t get to be the editor of Little Looms by taking weaving too seriously.

First introduced to weaving in a class post-college, she joined Handwoven as assistant editor in 2011. She developed her passions for editing and weaving while working on both multishaft and rigid-heddle looms. Although she still loves working on her four- and eight-shaft looms, she was surprised to discover that she loves the hands-on, up-close nature of hand-manipulated weaving.

With the launch of Little Looms in 2016, Christina began exploring the horizons of pin looms, rigid-heddle looms, and inkle looms. She’s found that you can make amazingly clever, versatile, and beautiful cloth on even the simplest loom.

Listen in to find out who Christina defines as a real weaver, learn how to see your work in the magazine’s pages, and hear a preview of a new project coming from Little Looms this fall.
