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.

Details

  • Rigid heddle loom with at least 14” weaving width and with a 10-thread-per-inch heddle. A limited number of studio looms will be available for members to use.
  • Warp: A total of 825 yards of thin, smooth, colorful, cotton yarns (~15-20 wpi or fingering/sport wt). "Rug warp" yarn is preferred.
  • Weft: 120 yards of thick/bulky cotton yarn, cut up T-shirts, or clothes line rope, f (~ 3-5 wpi).

    • 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.
