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.

Thank you
