Learn one of the hottest trends in the DIY/crafting world - tapestry weaving - and design and make your own woven wall hangings in this fun and relaxing beginner-friendly workshop.
In this class we'll teach you how to make a simple DIY loom from chipboard, how to set up the warp thread on your loom, how to do weaving stitches including plain weave, soumak, and rya knots, how to add fringes to your design, and how to incorporate a variety of fiber weights and textures, as well as small objects.
You'll leave with a small weaving ready to hang and the know-how to create all kinds of woven pieces of your own designs and make one-of-a-kind holiday gifts for your friends and family.
All the materials necessary to make the project, including a loom, warp thread, lots of colorful yarn, and a wooden dowel for hanging, are included. However, if you would like to bring some of your own yarn, especially if you have colors you know you want to use in your weaving, feel free to! Worsted and bulky yarns work best for this type of project.
