Rigid Heddle Weaving with BarbaraP -January
Great first time weaving class. Please see Dottie about renting a loom if you would like to take a loom home to finish your project. Please see Barbara before class date to discuss your needs or project idea for the class. Weave on our loom or yours and create a lovely piece of fabric. Get lots of tips and tricks for successful warping. Beginners can learn to warp a loom and weave off a table runner by the end of the day. All skill levels are welcome more advanced weavers can try an additional technique like pick up, variable dent weaving, a color and weave pattern, or warping for specific patterns like hounds tooth or log cabin. Great tips for on the loom hem stitching. For the table runner you will need 2 skeins of Cascade Pima Cotton (approx. 400 yds). Please have them wound before class day.
We will warp the looms in the morning, please bring a lunch and drink, and weave in the afternoon. Our ending time is flexible.
| Skill Level: | Beginner |
| Skill Details: | All skills are welcome. |
| Requirements: | Use your loom or one of the shops looms. Be sure to bring all warping tools that came with your loom. Also bring several large paper grocery bags to use as packing for the warp. I have several paper towel tubes to use as part of the packing. Please have 2 skeins of Cascade Pima Cotton pre-wound ahead of class date to warp for a table runner for first time weavers. You may bring a sack lunch (refrigerator available) and drinks for a lunch break during the class. If weaving a table runner, you may finish by the end of the day. Please speak with Barbara before class date to discuss your project and yarn requirements. |
