SUMMARY:Krokbragd on the Rigid Heddle Loom\, class 1 of 1
DESCRIPTION:Day/Date/Time: Saturday\, 7/25/2026\, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm\, with a break for lunch. This class meets once. \nDescription: In this class you will learn the basics of weaving krokbragd on the rigid heddle loom. This is slow weaving\, but it is quite rewarding and you can create beautiful\, geometric patterns. You can also weave sheep! You will learn how to “reverse engineer” a krokbragd pattern from a photo\, how to set up your loom for faster weaving\, and how to begin and end a project. \nRequired Supplies/Equipment/Books: Rigid heddle loom of any width\, 5\, 7.5 or 8 dent heddle. If you have a 5-dent heddle\, you can weave using worsted weight yarn (which is faster). If you have a 7.5- or 8-dent heddle\, you can weave using fingering to dk weight yarn. Yarn must be non-Superwash wool. Please bring 4 or 5 colors (more if you like) of the same yarn. Finullgarn and Germantown are good choices. One spool of 8/4 cotton or cotton/poly Rug Warp (neutral or contrasting). The warp yarn is only visible in the fringe and at the beginning and end of the pieces. Minimum of four stick shuttles (or 3 boat shuttles and one bobbin for each yarn you will use). You will find weaving more pleasant if the shuttles match\, but that is by no means required. \nPrerequisite: Must be able to weave independently on a rigid heddle loom. \nPre-Class Prep: Warp your loom to the width and length desired\, but a minimum of 6 inches for a mug rug and 2 yards in length. Wider pieces could be used for pillows\, table runners or incorporated into the side of a bag. To warp: use direct warping\, wind on with warp separators\, thread the slots and eyes\, tie slip knots in 6 to 8 end sections. The tensioning will be finished in class. Wind your shuttles/bobbins with each of your wool colors and one shuttle/bobbin with the rug warp. \nInstructor:  Joan Sheridan \nMaximum:   8 students \nFee: $100.00 \nClick to Register

SUMMARY:Spinners Breed Study Series Afghan\, class 5 of 9
DESCRIPTION:Day/Date/Time: Saturdays\, 3/28\, 4/25\, 5/30\, 6/27\, 7/25\, 8/29\, 10/10\, 11/14 and 12/12/2026\, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. This class meets 9 times.           \nDescription: Join us for a 9-month long exploration of different sheep breeds. We will spin samples from 9 different breeds of sheep\, highlighting a different breed each month. Students will use their handspun samples to either knit or weave afghan squares to create a final project representing each breed presented in this series. We will be working with natural colored combed top for each breed sample. Classes meet monthly for 3- hour sessions.  Class time will be spent primarily spinning samples\, creating a control card for each yarn\, and planning for afghan square. If the student requires knitting or crochet help with their squares\, Knitting and Crochet Help sessions are available at Heritage\, and are listed on the shop calendar. A pin loom help class can also be arranged. \nRequired supplies/equipment/books:  Other supplies needed are a 3-ring binder for samples\, index cards\, and measurement tools\, including a scale\, ruler\, WPI tool\, and ply angle tool. (Instructor will bring tools to class to share\, but it is helpful to have these for home use.) Optional: Knitting needles and crochet hooks in various sizes and/or a pin loom. \nClass fee does not include 4oz. fiber samples\, binder pages or handouts. A $30.00 materials fee is due to the instructor at the beginning of each session.  \nRecommended books for afghan squares: Learn to Knit Afghan Book by Barbara Walker;  200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets Throws and Afghans by Jan Eaton; and Pin Loom Squares: Techniques\, Instructions And 15 Projects by Jan Harrowe \nRecommended reference books (Not required): \nThe Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook by Deborah Robson & Carol Ekarius \nThe Field Guide to Fleece by Deborah Robson & Carol Ekarius \nThe Spinner’s Book of Fleece by Beth Smith \nPrerequisite: Must have  a working traditional or e-wheel. (Drop spindles would also work for this class if preferred by the student.) Students should have basic spinning and plying skills and be able to knit or crochet from a pattern\, or weave using a pin loom. \nInstructor: Summer Swanwick \nMaximum: 6 students \nFee: $400.00\, plus $30.00 materials fee due to instructor at each session for 4 oz sample of fiber\, handouts and binder pouches.
