On February 18th, the talented Monica Neeman Moore taught a class on crafting needle felted landscapes. As we carefully worked the colorful wool with our tiny needles, enchanting scenes began to take shape. It was a delight to witness stunning sunsets, serene mountainscapes, and lush green fields come to life through our collective creativity.
Get Ready for Our Weaving Workshop
This Sunday 3/2/24 Catherine Scott will be teaching us how to weave using a frame loom, which is a great and inexpensive way to start your weaving journey. During this class you will learn:
- How to warp your loom.
- Basic weaving stitches.
- How to use two colors in the warp to show the effects of tabby (plain) weave, floats, vertical stripes, and if time allows clasped weft.
Catherine has a few looms available for sale at $25 each, so if you need one, please bring cash to the next meeting.
If you can’t wait to get started, check out the videos she recommends below. They go over how to warp your frame loom, meaning how to dress your loom so it’s ready for weaving and other techniques.
What to bring:
- Frame loom (or get one from Catherine)
- You may bring yarn if you like but it is not required. For warping, bring smooth and strong yarn for the warp such (e.g. cotton yarn fingering or sport weight). Thinner yarn will be easier to work with.
