Introduction to Rigid Heddle Weaving

Rigid Heddle weaving is a great place to start if you want to learn to weave. In this class you will learn how to plan a project, set up the loom, and sample a wide variety of techniques. You'll be delighted with the many different weaves you can do on this simple loom. If you prefer a more straightforward approach, you can weave a scarf instead of a sampler. You may purchase yarn from Sue or bring your own sport weight yarn. There will be lots of yarn for experimenting, too.
