Description:

For those who are comfortable warping and weaving on an inkle loom take this next step with a 2:1 five thread pick-up technique.  We will explore simple diamond shapes, diagonal lines, and other options.  To weave – a – long, prewarp your loom
using the draft below.

Using PowerPoint and Webcam presentations, participants will learn in one session, to read a 2:1 pick
up draft,
learn to pick up and
drop off pattern threads.

Explore design options and ideas .

 

What to Bring:

Please have the following on hand for this class:

  • Webcam
    helpful though not required
  • Pre-warped
    inkle loom with 3 Colors of 3/2 or 5/2 Cotton, draft below. The more
    contrast the colors have, the easier it will be to see the pattern threads
    on the ground warp (represented in black)  Odd numbered warps get a heddle, even numbered warps do
    not get a heddle
  • A small belt shuttle, like a stick shuttle except with a more tapered edge
    along one side, pre-wound with weft.
  • A sheet of graph paper
    and a couple of contrasting colored pencils ( like black and red)  Note: there are a number of sites
    that allow you to print a PDF of graph paper for free.
