Mohair Scarf on a Rigid Heddle Loom
Oh yes you can weave a lace weight mohair! And its faster than knitting! Learn that it is not difficult to weave with fine, fuzzy or delicate yarns. See the sample in the shop. We can add a few warps of another yarn for stability while still maintaining the lightness of the lace weave.
If this is your first time warping, please feel free to join the class, you will warp and weave with a more stable yarn for your first time. (Choose a nice wool, acrylic, or cotton in a dk weight.)
Our ending time is flexible.
Please bring a few paper grocery bags for your warp packing on the loom, as well as the warping tools that came with your loom. We will use 2 stick shuttles to add a novelty yarn to the weft.
You can also see Dottie about using a loom from the shop.
Feel free to bring a lunch or snack (refrigerator is available) and a drink for our break during the class.
| Skill Level: | Beginner |
| Skill Details: | Learn to warp and weave on a rigid heddle loom with special techniques added for easier weaving. If you have warped before, you can warp and weave the lace weight mohair. |
| Requirements: | If this is your first time warping your loom, we will select a different fiber of a dk or worsted weight for your first time weaving on a rigid heddle. You will need at least 300 yards of lace weight mohair. We will add in a novelty yarn to add stability to the fabric, requiring no more than 150 yds. Both yarns will be used in both the warp and the weft requiring 2 shuttles. Please bring all your warping tools that came with your loom. Speak to Dottie if you wish to use the shop's looms. Our ending time is flexible. Feel free to bring a lunch or snack (refrigerator is available) and a drink for our break during the class. |
