Materials Fee covers warping and weaving material, and handouts.
Loom Rental: Some rigid heddle looms will be available for rental during class, for a nominal fee of $15.00. Please specify whether you will need to rent a loom when you register.
Students should bring: Working rigid heddle loom – be sure all the parts are with it (unless you wish to rent one), tape measure, scissors, note taking supplies.
Rigid heddle looms are a good introductory loom, because of their price and portability. They offer quite a bit in the way of fabric design possibilities, too. While they aren’t the loom to be making rag rugs on, they can handle a nice range of fabrics, towels, table runners, scarves and more. In this class, we will be warping a rigid heddle loom, doing some basic weaving, and introducing you to the many possibilities this loom offers.

Workshop Description: Using a solid 10.5” wooden frame loom, participants will learn to weave a square with a continuous strand of cotton yarn. The completed square makes a superb dishcloth. Participants will learn to weave using a simple crochet hook. The weaving technique learned in class can be used to complete a single square for a dishcloth. Multiple squares can be joined for larger projects. Participants may purchase the loom to take home following the class, for years of weaving pleasure.
Experience level needed: No weaving experience, but must be able to hold and manipulate a crochet hook for weaving over/under pattern.
