In this beginner's level course, you will learn about the different parts of a rigid heddle loom and the importance each part plays in the weaving process. You will learn how to warp a loom and weave a scarf. You will also learn hemstitching that holds woven yarn in place after the scarf is removed from the loom.
The class will discuss different weave structures and how color can really impact woven items. A traditional houndstooth pattern is made from very light grey or off white and a charcoal grey or black color palette. However, this is your scarf so whatever colors you choose will be perfect. Just make sure to pick light and dark solid colors to maximize the houndstooth effect!
The instructor will send an email to all registered students with information about which yarn to purchase for the course. Students will also need to bring scissors, tape measure, and a blunt tipped tapestry needle. Appropriate for all skill levels. No prior experience is required to participate in this course. Looms will be provided.
