INTERMEDIATE HARNESS WEAVING

The weaving classes listed below are designed for those who have threaded a 4-harness loom, can follow a draft and weave independently.

WEAVE A SWEATER

Have you ever thought about weaving a sweater? Leslie is a weaver, sewer, and knitter and has combined all these aspects into stunning sweaters.  You will need to be a confident weaver with a floor loom that has a 26” minimum weaving width.  All the weaving will be done independently at home and good time management on getting yardage woven will be critical.  You will also need to know basic sewing machine skills.  This class will meet on Oct. 12 for a class where you will discuss your project details and get yarn, yardage, and pattern draft worked out.  You will leave this day with a warp wound ready to put on your loom.  During the interim weeks you will weave enough fabric based on your calculations and then meet on Nov. 16-17 to cut fabric, sew, and assemble your sweater.  You will need to  purchase the digital download sewing pattern Boxy Raglan ($12) from Wardrobe By Me prior to the first day of class to get size details.  You will need to bring your own sewing machine.  By Leslie Arnold.

LINEN AND SILK? HUCK YEAH!

Learn how to feel comfortable working with a linen warp.  In this class we will use linen and silk to create a beautiful scarf that features a row of huck lace squares.  Linen is often called the unforgiving yarn.  This class is aimed to get weavers to feel empowered to work with linen as warp by providing guidance, tips and strategies specifically for the intimidating fiber.  You will use 2/9 French linen at 24 epi in the warp and 20/2 silk in the weft in 2 contrasting colors.  Your scarf will be approximately 8” x 72” long and since it is a slow weave, you are welcome to bring  your own loom with a 12-dent reed to class so you can finish at home after class.

DOUBLE WEAVE BLANKET

Learn to maximize your loom width by weaving a double-wide blanket.  We have several nice choices in chunky weight yarns that will look great in either  plaid or striped edge designs.   We will wind the warps and have your loom ready to dress on the first day.  You will thread your loom and weave a blanket with finished dimensions of 45” x 70”.  Materials not included in the class fee; you will need to purchase them at least 3 weeks prior to class.  No refunds or store credit for cancellations after Nov. 23 unless we find a replacement for you.  By Bea Bonanno.

SYMMETRY IN REP WEAVE

In this class you will weave one of our newest designs, the Reversible Rug Runner, a warp-faced rep weave rug.  The rug will have a weaving width of 22” and will be woven approximately 54” long.  This makes it perfect for an entryway mat, bedside rug, or for an accent in front of your fireplace!  You need to choose 3 colors of Quebecoise Rug Wool—2 accent colors and a main color for a total of 10 skeins and 1 tube of a matching Carpet Warp.  We will measure the warp and get the yarn through the reed.  You will do the threading, winding on, and tension in class the first day.  Most will start weaving even on the first day and finish the second day.  The weaving goes quickly at 6 picks per inch.  Come learn a new technique and end up with a fantastic rug.  No refunds or store credits for cancellations after Dec. 3 unless we can find a replacement for you.  By Bea Bonanno.

TAPESTRY WEAVING ON RIGID HEDDLE OR HARNESS LOOM

NOTE: The weaving class listed below is designed for those who have woven tapestry techniques before or have taken our Introduction to Tapestry Weaving class.

TRANSPARENT TAPESTRIES

In this class, we will be creating designs on plain weave fabric using inlaid supplemental wefts. This technique is a bit faster than traditional tapestry and creates a lightweight ground cloth with individual forms woven within.  Use up your oddments and have fun with color!  We recommend that you bring your own loom, but you may also rent one from us.  By Bea Bonanno.
