Immersion Weaving

Written by: Golden Acres Ranch
January 5, 2020

Spend three days immersing yourself in learning (or reviewing) the basics of weaving.

Learn how to…

• wind a warp
• dress the loom
• read a draft
• plan a project.

After this workshop, you’ll be ready to continue your weaving adventure independently. Designed for beginner level but advanced beginners will not be bored.

The focus of this class is to learn the process rather than to produce a product, though you’ll weave mug rugs and a sampler of weave structures in class.

Small ( 20″ ) looms will be provided or you can bring your own. If you work on your own loom you’ll have a third project on it to finish at home.

Supplies List

You will need to bring:

• Scissors
• Measuring tape or 6″ ruler
• 2 colors of weaving yarn in a 3/2 or 5/2 weight, at least 100 yards of each (size 3 crochet cotton).

You may want to bring:

• Tall chair or stool if working on a table loom
• Task light
• Note-taking materials
• Any of your own weaving tools you’d like to use in class

Teaching is one more way in which she can share her passion for weaving. You can learn all about her at her website.
