Weaving Placemats
Thursdays, July 22–Aug. 5; 10am–1pm Class fee: $75 Placemats add the finishing touch to any table — and what could be more perfect than a set you've woven yourself in your own favorite colors and textures? Lofty Lady/instructor Cindee La Joure will show you how in this fun 3-week class. Bring your own rigid-heddle loom or use one of Cindee's. Students will advance their weaving skills on this 4 placement project by using 2 colors in the warp, weaving with 2 shuttles, measuring their project, and hemstitching. The recommended yarn for this project is Berroco Modern Cotton or Berroco Modern Cotton DK (we have lots and lots of colors).
