Floor-loom Weaving: Three Warps, Three Towels - Session II

Plan, warp and weave a straight twill cotton towel on a 4-shaft floor loom. Subjects include a review of yarn selection, yarn calculations, warp winding, front-to-back warping and wet finishing, PLUS how twill works, drafting twill, sett differences and weaving/stitching a hem. We’ll also fine-tune weaving techniques, including minimizing draw-in and beating consistently.

Experience required: Completed Session 1 OR have warped a floor loom at least once. For beginners, your instructor Karen Donde recommends taking all three sessions in succession, as the best way to become comfortable with warping is frequent repetition.
