Description: Plain weave doesn’t have to be plain. When you mix in color in a certain way, all kinds of exciting things can happen. Learn how to warp your loom to extract the magic in the colors. We will also discuss how to weave tidy selvedges and how to read a weaving pattern. In class you will warp for a set of towels using color and weave. At the end of class your loom will be warped, you will have begun weaving and you will understand how to finish the pieces at home.
