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.

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.

DOUBLE WEAVE BLANKET

Learn to maximize your loom width by weaving a double-wide blanket. We have several nice choices of chunky weight yarns that will look great in either plaid or striped edge designs.

Materials not included in the class fee; you will need to purchase them at least 3 weeks prior to class.

FORM AND FIBER

If the many different weaving yarns and their blends make you unsure of what yarns to use for a project, this class is for you. We will help you explore the characteristics of cotton, linen, wool, alpaca, bamboo, Tencel, silk and their many blends so you can make good choices when planning projects. We will have looms threaded with different yarns and you will weave samples of plain weave and twill at each. After the workshop, you will wash a sample of each fiber type to see how wet finishing affects the feel, drape, and size. You will assemble a comprehensive notebook that will be a useful reference manual. By Susan Bateman.
