Weaving on Simple looms
You don’t have to invest a lot of money in weaving
equipment to start weaving. A rigid heddle loom is a simple frame
loom that allows you to weave anything from wall hangings
to scarves..It is sometimes called a Knitters loom because it can
accommodate bulky or novelty yarns. This type of loom folds and
takes up very little space. See the Flip loom at www.schachtspindle.com.
Choose from 2 projects: weave a lace scarf or table runner or
weave a “rag rug” tote bag.. The loom is yours to keep.

Introduction to Natural Dyeing
There is a new interest in the age old art of natural dyeing
using plants, barks and nuts. Learn to identify which plants
produce permanent colors and how to get many color variations
from just one plant. This will be a demonstration of how to
prepare the dyestuff, scour and mordant wool yarn and run a
dye bath. I will also demonstrate how additional shades can be created
by post mordanting. Students will receive samples from all dyebaths
, printed instructions and a resource list so they can dye
at home . No experience necessary.
