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. Do you feel like you need a quick refresher course on how to dress your loom? If you have not done much weaving since you took the Beginning Harness Weaving class and want to review your skills, this is your chance to wind a warp, thread the loom front to back, beam on, and tension. When you have completed this process, you will re-tie your porrey cross and put the warp back into a chain to take home and repeat the process on your own loom. Repeat to reinforce! You will need 2-3 colors of 3/2 perle cotton yarn for class. By Katie Werner. W10 Feb. 1 (Sat.) 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 1 day $70.00 LEARN MORE AND ENROLL NOW!

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.

HUCK LACE HEMP TOWELS Did you know that Lawrence, KS was once home to a counterculture group called the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers? It’s only natural then that we offer a hemp weaving class since it’s part of the very fiber of our town! Hemp is a bast fiber that looks and feels like a combination of linen and cotton. It is very absorbent and breathable. Huck lace stands out beautifully in hemp yarn allowing for crisp and distinct lines of the lace structure. We will wind the warp and sley the reed, but you will get some threading experience and finish dressing the loom during class. There are 4 different block combinations to choose from, but you will only have time to weave 3 towels. If you would like to bring your own 4-harness loom and 10-dent reed, bring it at least 1 week prior to have it ready for class. By Susan Bateman. W33 Mar. 1-3 (Sat.-Mon.) 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 3 days $195.00 LEARN MORE AND ENROLL NOW! GOOSE-EYE BEDSIDE RUG Rugs are fun to weave especially when you use two different yarns in the weft. Choose bold contrasting colors in Quebecoise and Burlyspun to make the Goose-Eye rug an attractive addition to your bedside, doorway, or in front of your fireplace. You will get a good refresher on winding a warp and dressing the loom using 8/4 carpet warp. You have the option of bringing your own loom to this class. By Bea Bonanno. W38 April 22-24 (Tues.-Thur.) 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 3 days $195.00 LEARN MORE AND ENROLL NOW! CLASPED WEFT WEAVING: Graphix Rug Clasped weft weaving is a useful technique to know if you don’t have a lot of harnesses and want to weave areas of color side-by-side. You will have the opportunity to experiment with your color sense and choose 4 colors of our heavy rug wool for the weft. Since this is an easy draft, you will get the chance to wind your warp and dress the loom using 8/4 carpet warp. You have the option of bringing your own loom to this class. By Bea Bonanno.

WEFT-FACED WEAVING TECHNIQUES Stripes, pick-and-pick, hatching, and Soumak are techniques you will learn to create colorful designs and textures in a weft-faced fabric woven in plain weave. You will learn techniques that can be used in rugs, tapestries, placemats, or any item that calls for a dense fabric. In class, you will weave a small rug and weave at 24 ppi to ensure a dense and weft-faced fabric. Bring at least 2 colors of Sport weight yarn (1600 ypp) for the weft, but the more colors you bring, the more creative you can be. You can bring a pre-threaded rigid heddle loom or harness loom with either a 7.5- or 8-dent heddle/reed to class, but you may also rent one from us. By Bea Bonanno.
