Band Weaving: Turned Krokbragd – Saturday, April 12, 2025

Unlike plain weave patterns, which utilize only 2 sheds (up and down), Krokbragd patterns utilize 3 sheds and so require additional setup and manipulation of warp threads. In this class, students learn how to read a Turned Krokbragd chart and weave a cotton band using three groups of heddles. If you have taken Beth’s Introduction To Band Weaving class or have some experience with band weaving, you will love expanding your knowledge with this technique.

In this class, students will learn what makes a Turned Krokbragd pattern/band different from a Plain Weave band/pattern, how to follow a Turned Krokbragd pattern, how to manipulate supplemental heddle groups, and what to consider when designing a Turned Krokbragd pattern.

Students will weave as much as they can within the allotted class time. Depending on the length of their woven band, students can make a lanyard, key chain, or bookmark.

Class looms may be checked out by individuals willing to return looms and materials to the instructor at an agreed-upon location within 2 weeks of class. Assistance in finishing bands is only available during class or when meeting at the instructor’s home in Andover, MN.

Your instructor will provide the following materials:

• 100% warped loom (warping is not taught in this class; it is briefly discussed).
• Shuttle (Pre-Wound and ready to use).
• Hardware to finish bands as keychains or lanyards
• Written Instructions.

Students are asked to bring:

• Enthusiasm for learning.
• As your class is scheduled over a lunch hour, we highly recommend you bring a lunch or click HERE to learn about local eating opportunities in the area.
