To complete this class you will need the following:

*Rigid heddle loom 20” weaving width or wider 

*1 x 12.5 dent heddle 

*1 stick shuttle longer than the width of the project.

*Reed and threading hook

*Sewing machine and thread

*Serger (not essential, but handy)

Plus some miscellaneous sewing equipment:

For your muslin (practice fitting garment) you will need some fabric. I used an old sheet for mine. You can find lengths of cheap fabric in thrift stores or on clearance at a fabric store. Choose something light if possible.

A piece of dressmaker’s chalk will come in handy for marking your fabric.

You will need other miscellaneous sewing supplies like a tape measure, pins, sewing thread etc.

CLOSED CAPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS CLASS

"I really love this class - I did a few practice clasped warp projects before I gave the wrap a try. I was kind of lazy and skipped the muslin step - and it still turned out! I also used acrylic yarn for my first try because I was afraid of ruining the nice fiber you suggest to use. Your instructions are clear and concise and helped me get through the whole project. I am definitely going to buy the fiber you used and will make a fancier one."

"I loved this one! You helped me have no fear about cutting my handwoven fabric for my first ever handwoven garment. I want to wear it all of the time."
