Tablet (Card Weaving) for Beginners
December 11th
$85 per person
10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Tabby Tree Weaver, 9832 North By Northwest Blvd in Fishers
In this class you will learn to use an inkle loom and tablets to weave simple designs. With the same threading, you will be able to weave pattern variations depending on how you turn the tablets. It is fun to experiment and see what new patterns you can create!
Bringing your own loom is recommended, but I have looms in the store that students can borrow if needed. The advantage of having your own loom is that you can take your project home to complete it. Class time will likely not be enough to weave an entire band. You also have the option of purchasing an inkle loom before the class.
Material costs will vary depending on the yarns you choose to use, but it will likely be less than $10. Additionally, you will need a set of weaving cards which I sell for $7.99 (12 count).
