Learn to WARP a 4-Harness Loom. Get inspired to make your own scarf or place mat project!
Participants will learn how to use a warping board to measure the warp yarns and thread a 4-Harness loom.
All supplies - yarn, looms and tools - are provided to learn the techniques taught in this class.
Participants can bring their own 4-harness table or small floor loom (maximum size 24") and yarn from their stash. This is helpful if they want to complete the woven piece. Supplies can also be purchased at Spun. Class participants will receive 10% discount on yarn purchased for the class project.
This is an all day weaving workshop - starting at 9:00am until 4:00pm with a lunch break at 12:00-1:00pm. The class taught by Cayenna Hanna and is held outdoors at Spun in Palisade.
