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 the first day. The students will need to finish weaving between classes. The second day of class will be, 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, July 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, July 26 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.
