Prerequisite: Beginner Inkle Loom Weaving Workshop

This is a next-steps workshop in your inkle loom weaving journey. You should be familiar with the inkle loom, warping for plain weave, starting and finishing your weave, and/or have taken our Beginner Inkle Loom Weaving Workshop. You should be comfortable reading grid charts.

In this 4-hour workshop, Cheryl will guide you through the steps and techniques needed to read a baltic-style pickup draft and grid chart, warp multiple colours at once with both finer 8/2 Cottolin (cotton-linen blend) and regular 5/2 cotton yarn, and begin weaving to make your own bookmark, perfect as Christmas-themed gifts. 

After the workshop, a 1-week rental of the Inkle loom is included so that you can finish your bookmarks at home.

Materials (INCLUDED): Participants will receive a 1-week rental of an Ashford Inklette Loom and all the materials needed to make up to four 20-cm bookmarks. 

Please bring your own scissors and a pen.

INSTRUCTOR: Cheryl Kao

Cheryl began her weaving journey back in 2009 with a 4-shaft table loom. Soon after, an 8-shaft floor loom took over a corner of her living room. Now, a cute little blue Inklette loom has entered her life and she wants to share the fun. Join her in a series of Inkle loom weaving workshops, from beginner plain weave all the way to tablet, pickup, and beyond.
