Welcome to the world of fabric weaving! Weaving is a skill and craft that is found all over the world, has great variation, and is thousands of years old.
Join a small group pop-up workshop (maximum 5 students) in a lively studio setting that is part of the beautiful Eweknit yarn shop and location of many fibre-based workshops and classes.
You will learn some of the fundamentals of weaving and then learn to weave on a Schacht jack loom with a warp all prepared for you to begin. You will weave a square that you will take home with you so you can make it into the face of a pillow for your home or as a gift.
Learning to pull the beater from the middle, treadling at the same time. Nice colour choices!
Such a professional looking piece! Surface threads get cut off at the end. Treadling in sock feet - love the purple socks!
Change of colour with a new bobbin in the shuttle.
Such a great group! Thanks for joining me. Hope to see you again. Send me pics of the finished pillows or the finished fabric! (I think I missed taking a pic of one student's work - send it to me and I'll post it.)
