Learn the basics on this easy and most versatile type of loom, the Rigid-Heddle. Instruction includes measuring out the warp, how to warp up the loom and different techniques for weaving on it. The class project is a scarf. Students will need to provide their own loom and yarn, based on their loom size.
For thousands of years, people have spun fibers into thread using simple tools, and this skill was a staple of home life — especially on the Texas frontier. Almost every cabin and home had someone who cotton and wool into thread and yarn. For most of history, the tool used to make thread was a drop spindle that has the benefit of being small and portable. Come commune with history and learn a time-honored skill that is hip once again. Taught by request only.
