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 live 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:
• Headphones or earbuds to cut down on feedback
• 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.
