- Set aside at least 30–45 minutes so you can watch the loom in action if the weaver is working and still have time to browse the finished pieces without rushing.
- Ask about fibre composition and care before you buy; many items are natural wool or blends that last best with gentle handwashing and flat drying.
- If you have a particular colour in mind, bring a photo or garment; with small-batch weaving, the perfect match might be on the shelf in an unexpected pattern.

Island textiles with a personal touch
Handweaving & more is a compact weaving studio and boutique set in the countryside close to Ærøskøbing, where the focus is firmly on handwoven textiles and one-of-a-kind garments. Shelves carry small series of scarves, shawls, ponchos and simple tops, all woven on site in natural fibres such as wool, cotton and linen. Instead of crowded racks, you find a calm, almost homely setting where each piece feels considered rather than mass-produced. The colour palette reflects Ærø itself: soft sea-greens, deep blues, muted greys and warm earth tones that echo the island’s harbours, beaches and farm fields. Many items are designed to be layered and worn across seasons, making them practical souvenirs that fit easily into a travelling wardrobe.Watching the loom in motion
One of the pleasures of visiting is seeing the loom at work. When the weaver is in the studio, you can often watch shuttles flying and new patterns growing line by line on the warp. The rhythmic sound of the loom gives the shop a distinctive character, turning a shopping stop into a small workshop visit. Explanations are informal but illuminating: you may hear how a pattern is built, how long a scarf takes to weave, or how different fibres behave over time. It is a gentle introduction to weaving for anyone curious about craft, without feeling like a formal demonstration.Design shaped by Ærø’s landscape
The textiles here draw subtle inspiration from the island’s surroundings. Checks and stripes can recall stone walls, harbour timbers and tiled roofs in Ærøskøbing, while gradient weaves evoke low evening light over the Baltic. On cooler days, heavier pieces feel like a natural extension of the island’s windswept weather. Cuts are typically simple and timeless, favouring comfort over fashion cycles. Many designs work well on different body types, emphasising drape and texture rather than tailoring. This makes it easy to choose something that feels both wearable and special.Choosing a meaningful keepsake
Because everything is produced in small batches, the selection is never exactly the same from one visit to the next. You might find a stack of cosy winter scarves during the colder months, or lighter wraps and cotton pieces in summer. Some items are one-offs woven from leftover yarns, making them particularly distinctive. Prices reflect the time and materials that go into handweaving, but there are usually smaller items such as simple scarves or accessories that make accessible gifts. Staff are happy to help you compare textures and colours, and will advise on care so that your piece ages well.A quiet stop on an island outing
The shop’s rural setting adds to its relaxed feel. Away from busy streets, you step into a slower rhythm that fits the island’s overall character. It works well as a short stop on a day of exploring Ærø, pairing naturally with a stroll through Ærøskøbing or a coastal walk. Even if you do not consider yourself a textile enthusiast, the combination of working loom, natural materials and island-inspired design makes Handweaving & more an engaging, tactile encounter with Ærø’s creative side.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
