During 20 class hours spread between three weekend days, students will learn how to weave their very own scarf out of rayon bouclé yarn. They will learn how to plan a weaving project, and read a simple weaving draft. After designing their own scarf and measuring the yarn for it, students will be taught how to warp a loom using the "front to back" method. After weaving their scarf, they will learn a variety of finishing techniques including hemstitching, knotting and twisting fringe. No previous experience is necessary, and all materials are provided.
