Weaving-Breaking All the Rules

Saturday, August 17 & 31 from 10 am-4 pm, $96
Craft: Weaving
Teacher: Debbi


Remember all the rules Debbi taught you for yarn selection in your beginning weaving class? In this class, you get to forget most of them! We'll break as few or as many of the rules as you want, but Debbi will show you how to weave with different thicknesses, different textures, different colors, and finish up by using your beginning warp as your ending weft.

Mind blown yet? The end result is a scarf/poncho/cowl fabric that has no beginning and no end. It's not quite circular and very, very unusual. (Caryn has had folks try to buy hers while she's worn it on business trips....)

Session 1 will include warping and some weaving; Session 2 will include using the beginning warp as ending weft; make sure you finish weaving the bulk of the project during the week in between classes!

Two 6-hour sessions

Argyle socks are total classics, and for good reason - they're gorgeous! But they're also sometimes uncomfortable, because they're usually seamed. Ick. But in this class, you'll learn to work intarsia in the round, so that you end up with beautiful AND comfortable classic-looking argyle socks!
