Next Steps on a Rigid Heddle: Warp & Weave Houndstooth

Learn to Weave Classic Houndstooth!

Saturday, December 5, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

In this 5-hour hands-on workshop, weavers who’ve explored the direct warping (rigid heddle) technique will learn to warp to create a multi-color textile, creating the classic pattern of houndstooth, also known as puppytooth or pinwheel. This class is a great next step for weavers of all skill levels.

In class, students will learn best practices for warping their looms with multiple colors. You may borrow a rigid heddle loom to warp on or bring your own (please leave a note in the comments with which loom you will bring to warp, if bringing your own). The remainder of the class will cover learning to weave with more than one color as weft and how to manage and create clean and balanced selvedges. Each student will create their own finished 10-20″ long houndstooth textile to take home.

Prerequisite: Students must have taken Warp & Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom or be comfortable warping a rigid heddle loom using the direct warping method.

All materials to warp & weave a houndstooth textile are included for use. If you’re interested in learning to warp and weave on your own rigid heddle loom, please email Instructor Jeanine Ertl with what type of loom you have in advance.

No experience necessary. Ages 14+ welcome!
