    Saturday, November 23, 8:45-11:45

    $95 

    LEVEL

    Intermediate Beginner (you have warped and woven on a Rigid Heddle Loom at least once)

    AGE:

    Adults, 15 and up

    CLASS DETAILS:

    Join weaver/instructor Yasmin Martin, and assistant weaving instructor, Sam MacDonald for this fun, three part weaving course! Using a Rigid Heddle loom, you will learn the basic techniques needed to weave a beautiful scarf in Log Cabin pattern. Log Cabin in weaving is a simple design that only looks complicated, and it is a great introduction to Color and Weave!

    Classroom looms are provided for use at no cost, or you may use your own rigid heddle loom with a weaving width of 10” or more.

    If you bring your own rigid heddle loom, please bring your 7.5 or 8 dent reed/heddle; all warping tools, and warp dividers (paper, warp sticks, etc.)

    In the first class, we will begin by reviewing some basic terms related to warping the loom. With guidance, you will then warp/dress your loom, following the Log Cabin pattern provided. By the end of the class, your loom will be dressed and ready to weave on in the next class.

    In the second class, we will review terms related to weaving on the loom, including: balanced weave; how to achieve a sett that makes a scarf drape beautifully; how to make good selvages; how to weave with 2 shuttles; how to secure the beginning of your scarf with hem stitching, and more! By the end of this class, you should be comfortable with weaving on your own and ready to finish your weaving at home, before the next class. (Yes, homework!)

    In the third class, you will begin with hem stitching the end of your scarf. You will then cut your scarf off the loom and learn finishing techniques, including different fringe finishes. Wet finishing will be demonstrated.

    By the end of this course, you will have reinforced your basic knowledge of weaving on a rigid heddle loom, you will learn new skills, and you will take home a scarf you’ll be proud of! 

    SUPPLIES TO BRING WITH YOU

    YARN: Please bring 2 balls of worsted weight wool, or wool blend yarn, suitable for warping, in contrasting colors (1 light, one dark). Each ball should be approximately 200 yards. To know if your yarn is suitable for warping, please give it the snap test:

    Hold about 6 inches of yarn between your hands, give it a sharp snap, if the yarn doesn't break easily, it's likely suitable for warping.

    Other supplies: Scissors, Tape Measure or a 12” ruler, Blunt Tapestry/Yarn Needle, Pen and Paper for taking notes.

    Questions about the class? Contact yasminjmartin@gmail.com

    Bio: Yasmin has been working with fiber for over 30 years, including crochet, embroidery, rug hooking, basketry, bead weaving, tapestry weaving, hand loom weaving, and most recently, spinning. She discovered rigid heddle looms 10+ years ago, and fell in love with these small, versatile looms. “They are the perfect balance of simplicity and functionality.”
