About
Learn how to make intricate and beautiful tablet woven bands with this popular technique — where tablets or cards are used to create the shed through which the weft is passed. The bands you'll create can be used for bookmarks but also for hat bands, key chains, bracelets, wristlets for a bag, and so on!
You'll learn introductory tablet weaving techniques, how to read a tablet weaving draft, making a warp and threading the cards, and then how to use the cards to weave the bands. You'll also get a chance to learn backstrap weaving if you're interested.
Materials
- A $20 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers all the yarn you'll need as well as a printed handout to take home.
- Tablet weaving cards and shuttles will be available in the studio, but you're encouraged to bring your own set of cards if you have one.
