The Weaving a Ribbon Heart project can be woven by a experienced weaver using a simple loom, or a drawloom that has 20 or more draw shafts.

There is no fancy equipment to buy, this project made use of knitting needles, and E-Z Bob embroidery floss holders.

There are step by step instructions with detailed pictures to guide you through the techniques used in the project.

Full project instructions are in a PDF document and there are two files, a PDF document with printable copies of the Draft Pages found in the Excel Spreadsheet for those that prefer not to use a computer or Microsoft Excel.

The Excel spreadsheet file contains  tabs for Pattern Drafts for 11 patterns including a vine,  a Heart Shape Position Guide, a template sheet for customizing your own pick up draft. The pattern drafts can be woven for other projects not just the heart, they will make great border patterns for other handwoven projects as well.

You are able to make changes to the spreadsheet to fit your particular project needs.
