This is the perfect follow on workshop from the floor loom class, so have that under your belt before tackling this one.
Where do I start?
We will start by chatting about the steps involved for the day, then step by step will take you from the very beginning to a woven scarf.
With coloured pens and piece of paper, you will scribble your ideas and designs down, and from your drawings we can decide which yarns will be suitable for your warp.
You can go for subtle neutral tones or every colour of the rainbow for your scarf.
How long is a piece of string?
You will measure approximately 100 individual threads each measuring 2 mts long using the warping frame.
Once measured, you will remove your warp from the frame and thread it into the loom using specifically designed equipment to make this process as smooth as possible.
We will roll the warp into the loom together, and then it will be ready for you to sit down to weave until you run out of energy, or warp. Whatever comes first.
Slow and steady wins the race
The width of the cloth will be approximately 25cm wide and 1.5 mts long when it is completed. This is about the dimensions of a scarf, so you will be able to wear your amazing handiwork home.
You are most welcome to bring any yarns you have about your house to use too.
Endless possibilities
This workshop is ideal for developing a well rounded understanding of how the loom mechanically works and the endless possibilities if you are thinking about buying a floor loom yourself.
The studio can accommodate only 1 person doing this workshop at a time, so you will get plenty of attention.
