About

In this weave-along, you'll be guided to produce a piece of cotton fabric on the rigid heddle loom. You'll directly warp the loom, and begin weaving. 

This fabric will be made with 8/2 cotton. It can be hemmed and used as kitchen towels, or sewn up into project bags. This session can be a companion class to the "rice bag" sewing class with Danielle Mariani (Feb. 10), or a standalone class to weave your own kitchen towels or usable fabric. 

Details

  • Skill level: Intermediate. You must be able to directly warp a rigid heddle loom and have some experience weaving on it.
  • You won't complete your project during class, and will need to allow for at least another four hours of weaving, plus washing time, before sewing. 
  • You're welcome to bring a lunch for our 30-minute break. There is a refrigerator and microwave you can use on the lower level.

Details

You need to bring at least two cones of 8/2 cotton in contrasting colors. These can be purchased at a variety of places including gistyarn.com, woolery.com, Eugene textile center, or locally at Stranded by the Sea in Edmonds.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome. 

Instructor
Alison Waller

Originally from Yorkshire, UK, Alison lived in China for several years before moving to Puget Sound in 2019 with her husband and two young children. She has enjoyed knitting, crochet, and working with beads since childhood, but it wasn't until moving to Washington that she tried weaving. In the last four years, she's become obsessed both with making baskets and making fiber on a floor loom or rigid heddle loom. She has taken classes with many local and nationally recognized weavers at BARN, developing her skills as a weaver and a teacher. She’s now delighted to serve as the weaving coordinator in the Fiber Arts Studio, where she also teaches rigid heddle and floor loom classes.
