Clasped Warp and Weft Weaving

Kasteyl Lukes

Friday PM

Just a clasp to the left...learn how to warp with two or more colors in a clasped warp technique, then follow it up with clasped weft!

We’ll learn how to choose the correct yarn for your project, warp, and weave! Materials list is for an 8" x 6.5' scarf, if you have another project in mind please plan appropriately. Due to time constraints please plan for a warping width of 10" or less.

Skill Level: Students must have working knowledge of the basics of rigid heddle weaving.
