Make a weaving sampler/scarf of various weave structures from start to finish under the guidance of an experienced instructor on a 4 harness, 6 treadle floor loom.
Beginners will make a sampler using yarn belonging to the guild.
In this 6 session class, students will be taught:
How to calculate and wind a warp
How to put the warp on the loom (dress the loom)
What the many different parts of a floor loom are and the weaving terminology that goes with it
How to understand yarn weights and what kind of yarn is good for warp and weft
The many different kinds of looms available to weave on
All the different weaving tools needed (and desired!) to weave
How to weave many structures and designs, including color and weave
How to read weaving drafts
Tips, tricks and troubleshooting
And many finishing techniques
This is a deep dive into beginning weaving and will a solid foundation to go out into the world and weave on your own! Of course, a membership in the guild will also help with that.
