In this class, the instructor will consult with each student before class to determine what project they want to start with. This could be hand towels, scarves, shawls, table runners, or yardage for sewing.  In order to add more interest to your weaving, we will cover more advanced techniques. These include finger manipulation techniques such as Leno, Spanish Lace, Brooks Bouquet, and Danish Medallion, as well as use of pickup sticks in advanced patterns and overshot. Depending on the interests of the participants, we will also cover winding an indirect warp, how to warp and weave for patterns such as herringbone and Log Cabin, and (for those with ability to use 2 heddles) how to warp and weave doubleweave cloth.

Supply fee $5.00 Payable to Instructor

We will begin by working on pre-warped looms so that the students can get experience in using the RH loom before beginning their own projects. Basics such as winding a shuttle, direct warping, hemstitching, how to keep even selvedges, and how to beat will be covered. We will also look at weaving terms (WPI, PPI, YPP, dent, heddle), how to pick the right yarn for your project, calculating amounts of yarn needed, and how to troubleshoot problems. In the second half of the class, each student will plan a simple project, warp their own loom, and weave start to finish. Supplies for the first 3 classes will be provided. Students will supply yarn for their personal projects. Supply Fee: $20 Payable to Instructor
