Woolly Workshops - Weaving Without a Loom

Learn how to weave a seamfree bag on a simple cardboard loom. Make a small bag or cover for an item such as a phone or kindle. You will learn how to warp the loom and some simple tapestry weaving patterns such as spots and stripes. Those who have some previous experience can learn how to weave a bag with a flap.

Monday 15 October, 9.30am – 12 noon. Tutor: Nikki Little

Suitable for: everyone
Materials – please bring a piece of strong cardboard; ruler and pencil; scissors; warp thread eg crochet cotton which won’t stretch; wool or other fibre for weft in one colour or a variety of colours and thicknesses (this is a great way to use up your stash); blunt ended wool needle – ones with flexible plastic eyes are ideal.

Cost: £12

All our workshops are at the Liskerrett Community Centre this year. Their Hub Cafe serves delicious vegetarian food at affordable prices – why not treat yourself to lunch while you’re there.
