Card Weaving
Learn one of the oldest and simplest forms of weaving. Cards with holes in them! These cards, like hand spindles have been found all over the world in many cultures, made from many natural resources. They are traditionally used in making bands from narrow ribbons to belts. You are only limited by your imagination!
Supplies to bring to class:
scissors, notebook, paper, pencil, graph paper (4squares/inch) and colored pencils
4 balls of crochet cotton size 10: 1 ball very dark, 1 ball very light, and two other colors you like. I recommend "Aunt Lydia's" classic crochet thread Size 10
If you have a warping board, or warping pegs, bring them!
This is a FULL DAY class
