Weave Kitchen Towels on a Rigid Heddle Loom (Ages 16+) – Saturday, December 7 & 14, 2024

Students will learn to warp a loom with 2-3 colors of cotton yarn, following a weaving draft. They will also learn a new way to tie the warp onto the loom using shoe laces. This is a great way to save yarn. We will get started weaving on the first day. The students will need to finish weaving between classes. The second day of class will be, a show and tell of their beautiful new towels, Q&A, and tips and hints.

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

Class times:
Saturday, December 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, December 14 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

Your instructor will provide the following materials:

• rigid heddle loom to use in class
• full-color handout booklet
• yarn for three small kitchen towels
• 20 shoe laces

*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.

Students are asked to bring:

• 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.
• Students who have not taken Katherine’s beginning RH class may want to purchase her instruction booklet from her directly the first day of class for $10.
