NEW! 348. Woven Poncho
Workshop - Textiles | This class is completed
A simple garment, ponchos have a few variations that
assemble your hand-woven blanket into a lovely wrap. In
this workshop, we choose our colors, yarns and pattern for
a custom designed poncho. We can use fluffy thick cottons,
soft wool and mohair or a thin slinky style with a stunning
drape. This project is a fun way to use specialty yarns for
inlay and Saori weaving techniques. We will discuss different
finishes of fringe, loops and beaded edges, adding closed
slits for sleeves and a knitted cowl neckline. Students are
welcome to bring their own yarns and to contact Kathryn
before the class begins to choose special yarns to use.
