Limit 5 students
Back in the 1930's (almost a hundred years ago????) a couple of companies in the US developed and produced tiny looms that allowed people to weave small squares of fabric, four square inches at a time, with the scraps they had on hand. During the Depression, and later through WWII, these little looms came in handy for making all kinds of things out of almost nothing. Patterns were published for making coats, blankets, children's garments, patches for repairing, small toys... all with a loom small enough to carry in your purse!
If you have ever wanted to start weaving, but are afraid to begin something that requires a lot of specialized equipment, now is your chance to dip your toe into something easy. Maybe make a coat! I'll be wearing the jacket I've been making out of Lani's Lana sport weight Rambouillet wool for class, so you will get to see an in-person example of what you can do with a little practice and patience.
