Direct Warping your Rigid Heddle Loom
$75.00 – 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 first time weavers. Please ask about our rigid heddle weaving classes or private lessons if you are a first time weaver.

The shop changed ownership in July and moved next door in the complex. The new owners, Wae and Amanda have expanded the inventory and created a most welcoming atmosphere for the local knitting community. One is encouraged to drop in whenever the shop is open to solve a problem, stitch a few rows, or just […]
New owners in the last few months. Very friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed. I love it! Great selection too.
I can’t begin to explain how excited I have been by what you and Wae have done to Cloverhill. The transformation has been wonderful. I have been shopping at Cloverhill since it was the Weaver’s Place in Dickeyville. It’s been my LYS for a long, long time and I was afraid that it was on […]
