About the Course
Students will learn the basics of using a multi-shaft loom while playing with different types of yarns and patterns. What is a multi-shaft loom? Most commonly associated with floor and table top looms, this type of loom allows weavers to pick up large groups of threads at a single time making the weaving process much faster. It also provides weavers with greater ability to weave complex patterns. Students will have the opportunity to use both a table top and a floor loom and will learn how to read a pattern, select proper yarns, prepare a loom, and weave the fabric. No previous experience is necessary.
