Etobicoke Handweavers and Spinners present:
Beginner Weaving Workshop

Let’s make a handwoven textured scarf from start to finish! 

Learn how to plan a weaving project and calculate carefully how much yarn you will need.

Learn the basics of setting up a table loom from warping to tie up.

Create a beautiful textured scarf using plain weave. 

Finishing techniques will be demonstrated to complete the scarf off the loom.
