Cost per ticket: $45.00
Join us for a casual evening presentation for weavers examining the depth you may reach with you weaving by looking past those cones of yarn on your shelf and embrace yarns that are marketed toward needle crafts such as knitting and crochet. In this expansive and modern world of yarn production we have a cornucopia of texture, color and exotic materials waiting for us to explore. Together, we will discuss how we choose threads that will be appropriate for both warp and weft placement, how to determine their proper sett and yardage requirements. As we crack open the vault, participants will have a look into our deep collection of samples woven by our teaching staff as well as a few commercial examples in a wide range of weave structures and skill levels required for execution. As we wrap up our presentation, we will allow a generous amount of time for Q&A as well as show and tell of your own work. During this time, we strongly encourage you to bring to the virtual classroom examples of yarns you may have purchased or pieces that you have woven. These examples can be those of great success that you wish to share, they may have areas that you deemed unappealing or unsuccessful or simply yarns that you admire and need a bit of encouragement or inspiration before planning a project. Come join us for an evening of discussion that will surely be inspiring.
