Gist Yarn opened in 2017 as a little yarn shop with a big idea: inspire a growing community of weavers with quality weaving yarn, fresh pattern designs, and a warm and welcoming spot to find your weaving home.Since then, we've grown to a team of five women proud to contribute to a thriving textile industry by working with fiber farmers, spinning mills, dyehouses, weaving teachers, pattern designers, and brick and mortar yarn shops.We offer a growing collection of patterns for rigid heddle and multi-shaft weavers. We also host the weekly Weave podcast, which brings together a community of weavers and makers, farmers and mill owners, dyers and loom manufacturers, to tell the stories of the threads that bind us together. We are proud that thousands of our patterns and podcast episodes are downloaded each week from people around the world.Since then, we've grown to a team of four women working in partnership with textile mills, dye houses, and weaving designers to bring this vision to life. We contribute to a thriving textile industry by supporting domestic manufacturing for in-house yarn lines, partnering with select international mills to import quality yarn and weaving equipment, collaborating with weaving teachers, and creating wholesale partnerships with brick and mortar yarn shops.
