Welcome to our workshop exploring the beautiful art of Pibione tapestry weaving. Weaving is an ancient craft that is practiced throughout the world, Pibione is a unique style of weaving that translates to ‘grapes’ in Italian and refers to the small bumps within the tapestry that create a pattern. Known for its detail and craftsmanship, Pibione is practiced on the small island of Sardinia in Italy by a handful of artists that are keeping the original designs and looms alive. We look forward to sharing this special style with you.

In this workshop, artist Lindsey Campbell introduces Pibione and the uniquely sourced materials that make her wall hangings and art so special. Lindsey uses this technique often in her own work, modernizing the ancient practice with extra chunky materials for a bold, graphic design. We’ve worked carefully with artisanal craftsmen, wool mills and natural dyers to assemble a kit of tools & materials to get you started.

This workshop includes:

a detailed, digital workshop to build a woven tapestry led by Lindsey Campbell
a recorded Maker Chat Q&A with our artist and podcast

The tools & materials included in this kit:

a custom 18×24” large maple loom + sword or ‘pick up’ stick (made in the studio of craftsman Jeff Kirschenman in San Diego, Ca)
a skein of South African merino wool (+ recycled water bottle fibers) extra bulky yarn milled in collaboration with Love Fest Fibers in Washington state
a skein of hand dyed indigo fingering yarn by artist Raminta Beržanskytė

A Rust Pibione Weaving | Love Fest Fibers | Lindsey Campbell Materials Kit

Materials Kit: New Pibione Wall Weaving Rust Colorway

For those ready to dive into more Pibione Tapestry Weaving, we've reached out to Love Fest Fibers (who provided the original beautiful blue chunky yarn in our workshop kit) to share with us a brand new color of their ReLove Merino Wool. We've designed, developed & milled this new color in collaboration with Love Fest Fibers. The result? A rich terracotta that evokes Southwestern red sunset meets the rich red clay of Sedona.

This materials kit includes the soft 3-ply cotton rope needed for fringe, the sturdy warp that Lindsey loves, and a new 16" dowel to hang your weaving from.

This materials kit includes:

a new skein of super chunky Love Fest Fibers yarn in our new RUST colorway
3-ply cotton rope (Lindsey's ideal for fringe)
sturdy cotton warp (to warp a new weaving)
a 16" dowel

Merino & Recycled Plastic Bottles

From Love Fest Fibers: Each ball of ReLove Merino is made from our exclusive blend of fine merino and premium American recycled plastic bottle fiber. So soft and cozy, you'd never know that each 50 yards of ReLove Merino rescues some 15 plastic bottles from being landfilled. Utilizing premium recycled material also gives your creations added resilience.

ReLove Merino is spun in small batches on a Washington State family farm. Each bump is carefully crafted, taking 1-2 hours to spin.

The Details:

Spun in Washington State
Fiber: ½ ethically-sourced South African merino wool; ½ Global Recycle Standard Certified rPET; recycled cotton core
Yardage: Approximately 15 yards per skein
~1 stitch per inch
If venturing outside of weaving... suggested knitting needles: US Size 50 (25mm), suggested crochet hook: US Size U (25mm)
Care: Dry clean for best results. Chunky knits are delicate; shedding and pilling are natural with use.

Please note that this materials kit is only available to those that have participated Lindsay Campbell's Pibione Tapestry Weaving workshop. Purchasing this materials kit does not grant access to the original workshop video, this materials kit is an opportunity to grow and expand using the original workshop tools & techniques.

Happy weaving!
