A Successful Weaving Class

I spent the last two days in Placerville, about an hour from my place, teaching a beginning weaving class. The Hangtown Fiber Guild meets at a great facility. They use a classroom at a local church with plenty of space–tables, running water, etc.  There were 7 students and a few helpers and everyone finished their scarves in the allotted time. It is always fun to see the variety of scarves and this class was no exception. Here are some photos of the scarves on the looms.

These are the finished scarves before washing or finishing fringes. Great job!

  1. OH WOW! I’m impressed. My poor loom, is finally home after being up in Eureka for the last 6 or 7 years. I want to put it back into use and these beautiful scarves here are some pretty strong incentive.

    You are one Rockn’ Robin! : D
