Dressing the Loom   (new for 2009!)

Design and wind your own napkin warp to take home, in addition to experiencing all aspects of dressing our looms.  All stages of our loom dressing techniques will be covered, including winding a warp on a warping mill, pre-sleying the reed, winding onto the back beam with warp sticks, threading Texsolv heddles, tying up to the front tie-on bar, and tying up the treadles.  You'll learn about both countermarch and counterbalance tie-ups. You'll find this class useful either as a review or as your first class at Vävstuga.

Two-day session

Next offered: (2009) March 2-3

Materials charge: $15-30 (depending on length of warp)
