Rigid Heddle weaving is a great way to get started weaving in a simple way. Rigid heddle looms are inexpensive, portable and quick to warp. You will learn to direct warp a rigid heddle loom with easy to find knitting yarn, learn the basics of weaving, and create a beautiful plain weave scarf in 6 hours. Looms will be provided for class.

No previous weaving experience needed.

Necessary Supplies: Purchase two balls of Lion Brand Tweed Stripes yarn in the same colorway. You can purchase Tweed Stripes at Joann Fabric and Craft stores or Joann.com. If you wish to use a different yarn, you must consult with the instructor prior to class.
