Employing the Neurodiverse

We teach those on the spectrum to weave rag rugs in a supportive, nonjudgmental, safe place. We will hire several weavers at a fair wage and sell the rugs they create in order to continue to hire them and maintain the storefront.

Weaving Lessons

We provide an introduction to weaving rag rugs. We set up the looms, provide the materials, and guide you along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are applying for grants daily and looking for just the right spot where our employees and volunteers can work together and feel comfortable. Since applying for grants is new to us, unfortunately we can’t tell when this will all come together, but rest assured it is our top priority!

While it will not cost our neurodivergent friends anything to learn to weave, we will need to charge our neurotypical friends. We estimate it will cost around $60 for you to come in for about three hours, learn to weave a rug, and then have a rug you will gladly display in your home or give as a gift.

Yes! We will plan on having specified times for weavers to come in and use the looms to make rugs. In fact, we’re contemplating having “party” times sort of like the “wine and paint” parties. Stay tuned!
