Tablet Weaving: Warping Unusual Materials

John Mullarkey

Friday All Day

It is easy to tablet weave with cotton, but what about boucle yarn, or mylar yarn? These unusual materials require unusual handling but can almost always be made to work somehow. Bring unusual yarns you would like to work with and we will figure out the best way to use that yarn while warping a threaded-in pattern.

Skill Level:
Must have experience tablet weaving threaded-in designs.

Material Fee:
$5 Some unusual yarns will be supplied.
