The beginning and introduction classes are for novice weavers and designed for students who have never woven before or are looking for a refresher class.

INTRODUCTION TO INKLE WEAVING

April 4 Saturday 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 1 day

Call it tape, strap, band or ribbon-- it can all be done on the inkle loom. In this introductory class, you will learn the parts of the inkle loom, how to make heddles, and how to choose colors for designs. You will need to bring your own inkle or band loom and 2-3 colors of 8/4 cotton yarn. By Audrey Lintner

Please purchase your class supplies before the first day of class. You can order it online if you're not able to come in before the first day of class. Just be sure to include a message that we should hold the yarn at the store for pick up during class. We will remove the shipping fee before processing your order.
