We will provide you with a rigid heddle or you can bring your own. Class loom will stay at the Alpaca Learning Studio. We are a Kromski dealer and can fix you up with your own loom. But first let’s get you going without that commitment.

Cost: $185 weavers yarn included

Instructors: Jeanette Mannin from A Hidden Gem Alpaca Farm  and

Julie Wysong, Quarry Critters Alpaca Ranch

In this class you will start by learning the parts of the loom. Then we will quickly more on to  warp your loom.  

You will soon be throwing the shuttle from side to side, over and under, (this is the weft weave) creating a plain weave and finished product will be a scarf. 

Now that you are weaving let’s take a step back. We will be making a scarf.
