The loom weaving landing page (/loom) is an informational page targeting the “taller telar / teler / weaving Barcelona” search intent — flagged in the site’s README alongside needle felting as a low-competition niche worth owning. It introduces the traditional frame loom technique, explains the warp-and-weft basics, describes the range of pieces participants can create (tapestries, wall pieces, coasters), and routes visitors to the Borla monthly workshop where loom sessions take place. No separate individual booking format exists for loom weaving; it is practised exclusively inside Borla.

page.loom.descriptionDiscover weaving on a loom at Borrissol, Mataró: what it is, what you can weave and where to practise it. A slow, meditative textile technique, ideal for beginners.

​
Technique description

Loom weaving (telar in Spanish, teler in Catalan) is one of the oldest textile techniques in existence. On a frame loom, two sets of threads interact: the warp (threads stretched vertically across the frame) and the weft (thread passed horizontally from side to side). Alternating over and under warp threads with each weft pass gradually builds up a woven fabric. The loom.what.body key (EN):
“Weaving on a loom means interlacing two sets of threads: the warp (the threads stretched on the frame) and the weft (the thread you pass from side to side). Combining them builds up the fabric. It is a manual, unhurried and very intuitive technique: no machines needed, just the loom, yarn and your hands.”

For beginners

The fundamentals are quick to pick up and technique improves naturally with each row woven. No experience required.

Slow & meditative

The steady rhythm of the loom is genuinely relaxing — the site copy describes it as an activity that relaja y desconecta (relaxes and unplugs you).

Pure texture

Combining different threads, weights and materials produces pieces with relief and character impossible to find ready-made.

​
What participants create

The loom.create.body key (EN):
“On the loom you can create decorative tapestries, wall pieces, coasters and all kinds of textured fabrics. You can work with t-shirt yarn (trapillo), wool or whatever materials you want to combine to experiment with colours and textures.”
The primary material at Borrissol is trapillo (recycled t-shirt yarn) — in line with the studio’s commitment to recycled and pre-consumer fibres. Participants may also bring their own yarns to experiment with different weights and textures. Typical finished objects:
  • Decorative wall tapestries
  • Woven wall hangings
  • Small coasters and textile samples
  • Scarves and narrow fabric panels

​
Where to practise at Borrissol

Loom weaving is available exclusively through the Borla monthly drop-in. The loom.practice.body key (EN):
“At Borrissol you can devote yourself to weaving at Borla, our monthly textile workshop: come at your own pace to weave your own piece. You work with t-shirt yarn (trapillo), and you can bring your own materials to experiment with other textures.”
A secondary CTA button (loom.practice.cta → “See the Borla workshop”) links to /borla via localizedPath.
The Borla workshop costs 65€/month (2 hours per week, day and time of your choice). Materials are purchased separately at the workshop according to the technique and quantity used.
