Weaving is here!!!! We just started our first scarf project using Rowan Handknit cotton and Paigewood Farms Alyeska. Here's a picture of the work in progress.
We're weaving with a Schacht 20 inch Flip Rigid Heddle Loom. The looms come in 15 inch, 20 inch and 25 inch weaving widths. These looms are perfect for making towels, table runners, pillows, scarves, placemats, belts and more. The Flip is portable - it folds in half and is easy to take on a trip or a class. We have it on a stand in the shop, which can be purchased separately. All the looms we carry in the shop can use yarn right out of your stash. The looms are really simple to warp (the pink and green yarns that run vertically through your weaving).
If you do not want to invest in a larger loom, we carry the Cricket Loom. This has an 8 inch weaving width and is perfect for scarves and other small projects such as coasters and small handbags. The Cricket comes in a kit with everything you need to start weaving, including some yarn. The Cricket's are very small and portable.
Here are a couple of other projects that were woven by our instructor Linda G. If you are interested in taking a rigid heddle loom workshop with Linda, please call us at 360-993-2200. We're hoping to have a workshop date set for late summer. You have to purchase your own loom before the workshop begins. Our looms are set up in the shop so you can try your hand at weaving.
