Mini-Sample Weaving
Drop in and try your hand at using a four-harness loom. Learn how to read a pattern and discover how yarns can blend, mix, and create all sorts of unique patterns. Ideal for the weaving curious, no prior knowledge is needed, just a willingness to learn! All materials are provided; however, feel free to bring a fun yarn to weave into a piece of cloth. Participants can explore weaving on two looms and observe weaving on a third loom.
