In this class, students will weave a throw blanket on a floor loom. They will use a technique called doubleweave double-width, in which two layers of cloth are woven at once and are connected on one side and left separate on the other. Students will go through the entire process from preparing the warp yarn to dressing the loom and weaving the blanket. This will be an action-packed, long weekend class of weaving endurance. Students will bring their own yarn for the blanket to class. After enrolling, the instructor will contact students to discuss yarn options and quantities needed.  Approximately 1250 yards of warp yarn and 970 yards of weft yarn will be required to weave a blanket on the loom that is approximately 52” x 76” (the finished size will be a little smaller after coming off the loom and wet finishing).

Note: Students should be familiar with warping and weaving on a floor loom. This is not a class for beginners.
