About
In this weave-along for rigid heddle loom weavers, you will learn how to make placemats using thin, cotton yarn held double for the warp and bulky cotton yarn for the weft. You can also make substitutes for the bulky weft yarn by using clothes-line rope or cut-up T-shirts. The end result is a mostly warp-faced, thick, machine-washable placemat.
Details:
- Skill Level: Advanced beginners (you must know how to warp a rigid heddle loom)
- After getting your loom warped, you are welcome to stay for Weaving Wednesday and work on your placemats.
Project
During this session participants will warp their looms and begin weaving. Depending on how long you stay, you will then finish at least one placemat and then can complete the set on your own.
Materials
Prerequisites
