Introduction to the Rigid Heddle Loom

Description

Curious about weaving but not sure where to start? This class is the perfect first step.

In this hands-on introduction, you’ll get to know the parts of the rigid heddle loom, explore the advantages (and limitations) of table-top weaving, and learn how to plan a project with confidence. Together, we’ll walk through peg warping the loom — an accessible and beginner-friendly method — so you can see just how simple it is to get started.

The heart of this class is learning to talk through a weaving project: how to determine the right amount of yarn for both warp and weft, and how to plan your fabric before you even thread the loom. You’ll leave with a project idea, the yardage you’ll need to make it happen, and the option to continue your weaving journey in upcoming rigid heddle classes.

✨ Whether you’re brand-new to fiber arts or already a knitter, crocheter, or spinner looking to branch out, this introduction will give you the confidence to begin your weaving journey. Come explore what the rigid heddle is all about — you just might discover your new favorite craft!
