A Weaving Experience

Service Description

Saturday 26th October : 10H00 to 17H00 PLUS Sunday 26th October: 09H00 to 16H00 Venue: The Studio, de Trafford Wines, Stellenbosch BEGINNER friendly! If you are curious and inquisitive about creating fabric, love yarn, love colour then this is for you. It focuses on balanced weave with no complicated pattern. The essence is to fall in love with the flow and rhythm of weaving and you will leave with a completed product. Weaving is quicker than knitting and weaving a completed pillow cover in no more than 2 days is very achievable. You will be weaving on an Ashford Knitters Loom which is almost identical to a Rigid Heddle Loom. Classes are limited to 8 weavers maximum. Advise on where to further your weaving skills & purchasing of looms will be given should the weaving bug bite. Please note that we start on Saturday 23rd at 10am. We will set up the warp, prepare shuttles, hemstitch and then begin weaving. The day will end at 5pm . We will gather again on Sunday 9am to continue weaving and with great excitement will complete our cushion covers by 1pm in time for lunch. There will be extra time after the lunch as well. The Weaving Experience includes the yarn which is 300g of 100% gorgeous squishy South African wool, use of loom, tuition, lunch on both days, all refreshments, the down inner and sewing up of the cover. I will be in contact with you via Whatsapp closer to the time re colour choice options.
