Converting pattern drafts to the rigid heddle loom
Learn how to use 2,3 and 4 shaft drafts on your rigid heddle loom!
Have you always wondered how to use weaving drafts on your rigid heddle loom but didn't know where to start? Look no further!
This class will demystify the process through over 2 hours of video and many printable PDF's. Not only are there explanations, there are also step by step demonstrations to ensure your success.
Whether you want to weave 2, 3 or 4 shaft drafts, this class will show you how.
For this class we will be using one 10 dent heddle with pick up sticks and heddle rods to create additional shafts - no need to purchase extra heddles.
If you don't have a 10 dent heddle, no problem, just use what you have with the appropriate sized yarn.
*Please note that this class does not cover threading and weaving with two or three heddles.
If you feel that your interest lies more in using additional heddles I recommend the following classes:
