Taking a break from describing the new pasture to share weaving classes the last two weekends. Last Saturday and Sunday I held the Weave a V-Shawl class.

This class had five students. You can see why I can’t take any more than that. #1 all my looms were in use and #2 There is no more room. I didn’t take many photos but will share the few I did get.

The v-shawls are woven with two fronts as independent layers and then ]oined to create a w-shawl.

One of the finished pieces.

And another.

Rachel found a unique way to control her two shuttles…although later she learned that she could weave more quickly and efficiently with shuttles not placed in the pocket.

Rachel came back today to finish her shawl. This is a unique idea. She used the Caterpillar Cotton (which I just realized is not on my website; hopefully I can get that working tomorrow). Rachel used two colors to Create a plaid. It’s hard to see because the colors both share the white yarn.

Here is the back of the shawl.

Today’s class was all about weaving on a rigid heddle loom. Students wove short scarves while Rachel finished her shawl..
