120c3 – Demystify Loom Weaving (8) Beginner

Take the mystery out of weaving by learning to use a 15” Cricket loom. These simple rigid heddle looms are easy to set up and fun to use to weave scarves, bags and other small projects. Set up your loom, get started with the basics and combine different colours and yarns to create unique effects. A great way to use up leftover yarn from knitting or crochet projects! The fabric you create can be used as a scarf or incorporated into a bag.

3 Hour Workshop

Registration starts at the end of this month for Fall 2013 Conference Classes, October 23 through 27 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building.
