Continuous strand weaving seems almost counter-intuitive to weavers who are accustomed to a fixed warp and a shuttled weft. How does it work? How can color patterns be achieved? On a shawl-sized triangle loom, it takes about 10 hours to complete a project. For the class, Penny has mini triangle looms, sized about for a doll, that can be woven in an hour. After learning (AHA!) how the looms work, participants will be able to design and weave their own mini shawl in class. Students are welcome to bring 9 yards of 2-3 different coordinating yarns from their stash (optional) or use a variety of yarns provided by the studio.
Mini looms will be provided for use in the class. The mini-looms may be purchased from Penny after the class, if desired. Sources will be provided for purchasing full-sized looms.
