BASICS OF WEAVING

Milena, weaving

Basic weaving course with a 4-heald loom. In my workshop I will teach you the use of the loom and provide you with locally produced pure wool yarn from native Lamon sheep. It will be 12 hours divided into one day (9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.) with a lunch break and on the second day 4 hours in the morning (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.). I'll start explaining how the loom works, and after that I will show you the preparation of the warp (and you'll do the same on your loom) and finally we'll settle the various threads of the same warp on the loom. At this point we'll be ready to start with the weaving itself. You will also learn how to solve the different problems that weaving can present. You will produce a beautiful handmade fabric that you can take home! Lamon is a very nice mountain place where you can relax taking beautiful walks, so if the village will be too far to reach in one day, there will be the possibility to rely on a local hotel at a convenient price.
