• First you’ll discover how to use all the weaving tools and choose the ones you prefer.
• Then you’ll learn how to ‘warp up’ your hand loom, so it’s fully ready to use.
• From there we’ll discuss a bit about colours and design and how to put together a pleasing selection and look for your weaving.
• You’ll try these out on a small loom first (and if you're a quick weaver you can end up completing this trial one too!)
• Then you’ll start work on your fabulous fringe using Rya knots and loops and work your way up the body of your weaving.
• Lastly, you’ll take the weaving off the loom and finish it off by sewing in ends and adding a hanging pole; so you can proudly take it home.
