Warping 101 - Getting Started

This is the Study Group for our new weavers.

We will learn how to calculate and wind a warp for your loom, and warp the loom. We will also learn to read a draft, plan a project and much more. Each student will also receive their choice of a first project to weave.

There is no charge for members except for handouts and yarn for your first project.

Weaving Rules

from Mary Meigs Atwater

Handwoven Gift Bags - Weavers of Orlando

"Four rules that should always be observed in weaving - other things are more or less matters of opinion and taste"



"I should add # 5:
Always make a sample to keep - and keep it! - of everything put on the loom. A good collection of samples is an extremely valuable part of a weaver's equipment."

Mary Meigs Atwater



Additional notation from Elizabeth TerLouw, guild mentor, Weavers of Orlando:

"Together with the sample, be sure to include all pertinent information (threading, treadling, yarns used, etc.)"
