109 Pattern Magic- Color and Weave Effects

Color and Weave effects are like magic! You create patterns that look different from the actual weave structures by using yarns with contrasting color values. There are versions for rigid heddle looms (plain weave or pick-up), 4-shaft and 8-shaft (or more) table or floor looms. You can even create Color and Weave patterns on pin looms or potholder looms! It is exciting to see the woven patterns emerge from otherwise ordinary weave structures.

This workshop is a round robin format, in which participants will bring pre-threaded looms and weave samples on their loom plus all of the other looms. They will leave with a small reference library of color-and-weave designs that can be used for future projects.

Because there is a wide range of color-and-weave patterns, this workshop is for new weavers (who can read a draft and thread a loom), intermediate and advanced weavers.
