Yarn Mandalas For Beginners & Beyond - Inga Savage

From author Inga Savage, Yarn Mandalas For Beginners & Beyond is a paperback craft book focused on creating woven yarn mandalas, with an emphasis on mindful making and wellbeing. It guides you through choosing materials such as dowels, yarn and other hardware, then builds skills across 17 colourful projects, from simple designs using two dowels to more complex 12-sided mandalas made with six dowels.

Clear step-by-step instructions and photography support the key techniques, including preparing dowels and achieving the correct tension so patterns and colour can stand out. As your confidence grows, the book introduces core mandala patterns such as the daggers and square designs, alongside ways to add embroidery, tassels and other elements. Throughout, ‘Mindful Moments’ encourage intention, colour therapy and visualisation, helping you get more from the creative process while making woven wall hangings to display at home.
