Drop In Weaving - The Grid Tea Towel
Drop In Weaving - The Grid Tea Towel
Join us for a session of tea towel weaving! Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, nothing beats sitting down at a loom that’s already set up and getting right to the weaving.
This towel is set up on a floor loom with 2/8 cotton. The woven structure is plain weave with stripes in two shades of grey to create a grid pattern. (Yes, much like our Grid Blanket class.)
Students will be given a print out with all the draft information, as well as a one on one demo on how to weave this project. You’ll be given tips on how to get a consistent results, straight selvedges and will have a little time to practice before starting your towel. You’ll get to totally customize your towel by choosing the colours and texture of your weft. We have lots of colours available to choose from.
Students will weave a 22 × 30” (on the loom, before washing) hand towel. Fern is available at all times for any trouble shooting.
Price includes loom rental, set up, cotton warp, and weft. No additional supplies are needed.
When you purchase a drop in, students can come to the studio to weave on the selected date anytime during the listed hours.
Depending on your speed, you will need approximately 4-6 hours of weaving to complete the 30” towel. Beginner should allow themselves the full six hours. Weavers with some experience will need anywhere from 2-4 hours.
All finishing (sewing, washing and hem) will be done at your own home.
