The simple design of rigid heddle looms make them the perfect weaving loom for anyone wishing to learn the craft. They’re perfect for all skill levels and allow you to sample a wide variety of yarns and techniques. Rigid heddle looms are affordable, easy to set up, lightweight and portable. In this class we’ll cover the basics of dressing the loom and try various weaving techniques. You will weave enough cloth to make a small tote bag or wall hanging.
