Learn To Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom and Make a Beautiful Scarf
About Learn To Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom and Make a Beautiful Scarf
If you've ever wanted to weave but haven't gotten around to it, now is the perfect opportunity to learn. A rigid heddle loom provides an easy entry into weaving and this format allows you to learn in your own environment and then have a month of access to a video so you can reinforce the proper techniques. Plus you will make a beautiful scarf.
Deborah will walk you through what the terminology and tools are, how to set up the loom for weaving, maintaining the proper tension, weaving beautiful cloth, and finishing techniques that will make your project successful. If you are a knitter, crocheter, quilter or other fiber enthusiast, treat yourself to learning a new way to play with your fiber!
The capacity for this class is 25 students.
