Product Details

This compact loom is perfect for dipping your toes into the weaving waters. In this class you will make a scarf using a lux yarn that feels and looks scrumptious. Using good yarn always makes your project shine! You will learn how to dress the loom, how to weave and a bit about planning a project.

Three looms (with shuttles and separating paper) are available for in-store rental, however, please plan ahead as you will have to return to the shop during regular hours to work on it between classes. 

Please note: you will have two weeks following the last session to complete your weaving on a rented loom or an additional fee of $10 a week will be charged (unless you choose to abandon the project).
