Course Overview: Learn the basics of weaving on a rigid heddle loom in a rigorous workshop just in time to wear your own handwoven scarf this fall. A scarf project will get you started with planning, warping your loom and learning how to weave using a stick shuttle. The scarf will measure approximately 7”x 60”. You may select any worsted weight for your project from our wide range of fibers and blends.
Together, the student and instructor will discuss basic weave structure, common problems and learn solutions and remove fabric from the loom if time permits. Discussion and demonstration of finishing your woven fabric, adding fringe and twisted fringe.
