Weave a Scarf on a Rigid Heddle Loom – October 7 & 14, 2023

Create a woven scarf on a rigid heddle loom! In this two-session workshop, learn to warp a loom, wind a shuttle, hem stitch, weave and discuss troubleshooting on the first day. During the second session learn several fringe options and how to wet finish. Discuss how to plan for future projects on the loom including determining the quantity of warp and weft yarns and which yarns work best.

This is a two-day class. Participants will need to weave at home between each session.

Class times:
Saturday, October 7 from 10 am to 4 pm
Saturday, October 14 from 12 p.m-3 p.m.

Your instructor will provide the following materials:

• rigid heddle loom to use in class
• full-color handout booklet
• choice of yarn to complete one scarf: Superwash Merino wool yarn in several colorways for a subtle plaid scarf or White Cotton Slub and Solid Cotton-Rayon-Silk mixed yarn for a houndstooth check scarf.

*In order to bring the loom home, students will be required to provide the instructor with credit card information to use as a deposit on the loom.

• Lunch or snacks, if needed
