Weaving: 1 Warp-2 Colors-4 Napkins-16 Patterns (Ages 16+) May 18, 19 & June 1, 2024

Join instructor Katherine Buenger to explore the magic of color and weave, using a rigid heddle loom. Weaving 4 napkins and using 2 colors, students will create at least 16 different patterns. Each napkin will have 4 different patterns. Students will learn how to thread a loom with 2 threads in both holes and slots. They will also learn how to tie on using shoe laces, a quick and easy way to save warp. Shoelaces are included in the materials fee.

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

Class times:
Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sunday, May 19 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Saturday, June 1 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.
