Taking Care of Your Tools

Caring for your weaving tools helps them perform reliably and last for years.

  • Wipe wooden handles and tools regularly with a light oil (such as mineral, a dedicated tool oil, or tallow a pinch) to condition the wood and create a protective barrier that prevents water damage and wood drying out.

  • Sharpen blades on a regular schedule so they cut cleanly and reduce strain on your hands and materials

  • Dry tools thoroughly if they become damp to avoid swelling, splitting, or rust on metal parts.

Regular maintenance not only preserves the appearance and function of your tools but also ensures safer, more precise, and more enjoyable weaving.
