Create striking color shifts in your warp by interlocking yarns while threading your rigid heddle loom.  You will learn how to plan a project with this technique and design a unique pattern to weave a scarf, shawl, or runner in class.  You will need to bring your own rigid heddle loom that has a minimum width of 10" to class.  You will also need an 8-dent heddle.  Materials not included in the class fee.  By Bea Bonanno.
