how to make a yarn belt

Braid to Belt fiber arts project from Feral Scene

These lessons used to be tucked away just for members, but I’ve decided it’s time to bring them back out into the light. I’m excited to share them with everyone again — they’re too good to stay hidden.

You’ve spun the braid… now what? This project walks you through turning your handspun into a functional, beautiful belt you can actually wear. It’s approachable, beginner-friendly, and shows off your fiber in a way that knitting or weaving sometimes can’t.

What You Will Learn

  • Step-by-step tutorial with photos

  • How to prep and measure your handspun

  • Finishing tips so the belt is sturdy and polished

  • Optional variations (different braids, closures, styling ideas)
