- Date: Saturday 6th August 2011
- Time: 10am-12.45pm)
Weaving Sticks
Learn how to weave on hand-held weaving sticks, an old native American craft. These strips of weaving are ideal to use as belts, bag handles and rugs (by joining bands of weaving). Makes lovely matching handles for your hand crafted or felted bags. The pieces are very strong as the weaving is woven on strands of dishcloth or crochet cotton, that form the warp of the weaving. Learn how different yarns give different effects.
£28 (includes instruction sheets, warp cotton & weaving sticks for you to keep).
Please bring a selection of plain or fancy yarns (such as eyelash or chenilles) from your stash to use as weft yarns in your chosen colour scheme, or buy from the millshop on the day. (We also have a box of mixed yarn length to rummage through if you need extra colour/texture).
You’ll come away a length of weaving and various samples, plus class notes so you can continue at home.
A continuation course is available (same afternoon) Details here
