Direct Warping your Rigid Heddle Loom
$100.00 – 2.5-hour class, 1 meeting
a private lesson by appointment with Stephanie
Direct warping is a quick and easy way of dressing your loom that is well suited the simple warps typical of rigid heddle projects. If it is your first-time direct warping, or it’s been a while and you need a helping hand, this class will get you set up and ready to weave on your rigid heddle loom. If you already know how to dress your loom using a warping board, this is another method you can add to your arsenal.
This class will cover:
estimating the size of your project (a scarf or similar)
calculating yardage requirements for warp and weft (using balanced plain weave)
direct warping your loom
This class is for weavers who already own a rigid heddle loom and have some basic weaving experience or have completed our beginning weaving class. This class is not intended for a first-time weaver. Please ask about our rigid heddle weaving classes or private lessons if you are a first-time weaver.

An incredibly friendly and inclusive yarn shop run by the nicest young women. I’ve never regretted stopping by and have always felt welcome. They have a lovely range of yarns and also provide instruction. I could not recommend this shop more! P. Joan Gavigan
A few weeks ago I went to Cloverhill to possibly purchase an e spinner. I also brought along my knitting which had a huge mistake that I couldn’t figure out. Not being a regular customer I wasn’t sure if someone would help me. Kat took my knitting and finally figured it out. AMAZING! They put […]
