New to weaving and not really sure where to start? There are a few things that you gotta know to get you weaving, so you are at the right place. Here are the four points you will learn about in this training:
Warp? Weft? Shed?
Learn about the parts of a frame loom and the yarns that are used to weave. Also learn about how weaving works and how designs are created!
The spacing of the warp strings play a significant role in the appearance and structure of a weaving. Depending on the weft yarn weight and desired design, choosing the proper density is important.
The warp holds the design in place, but also is used to finish the woven edges when the weaving is complete. Learn how much warp is needed to display and secure the ends of the weaving.
After weaving your designs on the frame loom for hours, it would be a pity if it completely unraveled. Learn about the importance of weaving a strong base and how to how create one.
Totally new to weaving or just curious about fiber arts? You are in the right place!
In 2019 I created Fibers and Design to teach beginners weaving basics and to encourage people to be creative.
The Fibers and Design website is filled with weaving tutorials for learning beginner tips and techniques that can help you start weaving today, including how to build your own DIY looms, weaving patterns and projects, and more.
