COLOR-AND-WEAVE SAMPLER

We are offering a three-day class to give you an in-depth lesson on color-and-weave. You will learn how to measure your warp with alternating colors without tangling, thread it in a basic twill and point twill, and weave it using 15 different treadling patterns. You will use 3/2 Perle Cotton in two highly contrasting colors plus black or white. Since this is a complex and slow to weave project, you can bring your own loom (12" or wider 4-harness with 12 dent reed) or use one of ours. The finished sampler is 11.5" wide x 57" long and includes 45 different patterns! Materials not included. By Katie Werner.

MONK'S BELT HOLIDAY RUNNER

Bring in some holiday sophistication with this runner woven with supplementary warp in the 3 contrasting colors.

We will wind the warp used in the ground cloth and you will wind the warp using the 3 contrast colors and learn how to thread for a supplementary warp on 4-harness looms. You will weave a runner that measures 8"x 38" including fringe and learn how fun it is to weave turned monk's belt. Materials not included.  By Katie Werner.
