HSWG is sponsoring a comprehensive study for beginning weavers this year. The objective of the program is to gain comfort with planning and design, reading drafts, warping the loom, weaving, and finishing projects. There will be 2 easy towel designs that are quick to warp and weave, giving you experience working with different threads and patterns.
Towel with colors in the warp and weft
Joanne Hall, instructor
Participants learned about winding a multi-color warp, warping the loom, following a color order, weaving with multiple colors, hemming, and finishing. The thread is 50% cotton/50% linen. Linen is very absorbent and easy to care for and the combination with cotton makes weaving carefree. This thread is spun thick and thin, which is easy to work with and makes a cloth that looks rustic and handmade.
