WEAVING SUPPLY LIST
I have purchased and used materials from most of the companies listed below, but even if I have not, I’ve heard good reviews from other weavers. Some brands can be found in multiple categories. I do not categorize shops by country because most offer international shipping, or have resellers in different countries, so you can always reach out to them to ask. Also, this is definitely not a comprehensive list, but I am always adding to it. I will do my best to include brands around the world - send me a message if you have favorite shops that you don’t see on this list!
I do include Amazon affiliate links in this post, but only for the items I use and am constantly getting. You can head to my Amazon storefront to see all the items I recommend and am currently using. https://www.amazon.com/shop/Hellohydrangea
Tip: Looking for local materials? Search etsy and filter it by your country or even city to see shops in your area!
Shops with * next to them sell materials from multiple brands in one place.

Along with a list of roving suppliers below, I will direct you to my blog post about how to choose roving with lists of suppliers around the world. I think it’s important to understand what micron numbers and staple lengths are and how they play a part in roving quality.
