This workshop consists of 3 parts.
The first day we dye a warp of sock wool.
We prepare the dye together, you can choose from a wide range of colors. We use so-called acid dyes (suitable for dyeing wool, silk, etc.). Acid dyes are very economical, they react quickly with the fibers and are very colorfast.
Afterwards, take the chain with you, rinsed but still wet. It still needs to dry at home. Or you can choose to let the chain dry in the studio.
On the second day we set up the loom.
We start with beaming. Then we thread the heddles and pull the threads through the reed. After tying on we can start weaving.
At the end of the second day, you can take the loom home and continue weaving at home.
We finish the weaving on the third day.
Self-twisted fringes can be made, etc. We discuss the previous days and any questions you may have. Afterwards you can take your finished project home with you!
