Front Range FAB - Introduction to Warping and Weaving a Rigid Heddle Loom

Does the warping process of a floor loom overwhelm you? Is your stash of homespun yarn or other beautiful yarn taking over your home? That used to be me until I learned the ease of warping a rigid heddle loom.

Join me to learn the basics of weaving on a rigid heddle loom. Talk like a weaver, direct warp a rigid heddle loom like a pro, and create something beautiful. We will work through the direct warping steps and create a short table runner or placemat. I will provide rigid heddle looms (10” or 15” Schacht Cricket or Ashford knitters loom) so you can try before you buy your own. These portable looms allow you to create on the go!

Experience Level: Beginner or someone who would like a refresher on how to direct warp a rigid heddle loom

Students bring: scissors, pencil or pen for note taking and a container to keep the yarn ball from rolling around while warping

Supply fee to be paid to instructor at time of class: $30 (Includes use of loom and all the warping/weaving tools and my home grown yarn). We will be weaving with our Illinois grown, Leaf Livestock fiber in natural brown or dyed.

Class Schedule:  Saturday 9:00-4:00 (Lunch 12-1)

Instructor: Anne Sammons
