Class Description: Looking to add some pazazz to your weaving? Pickup lace weaving could be your answer. Pickup lace weaving is done with a pickup stick and is usually used at the start, end and sometimes middle of a project such as a dish towel, table runner, curtain, etc. This class will show you a variety of weaves to use to add that elegance of lace to your projects.
Required Skills: Able to read a threading draft. Comfortable with weaving and weaving terms.
Student Should Bring to Class:
1. 4 Harness Loom already pre-warped with your heading already in and ready to
weave.
2. Loom warped with 3/2 cotton, black, 2 yard warp.
3. Weft yarn, white, 3/2 cotton.
4. Reed EPI should be 12 and we will use a width of 15”. If your weaving width is
smaller than 15” then just use the width of your loom.
Note: Use the standard formula for warp:
12 EPI x Width x Length = Warp
Use the standard formula for weft:
12 EPI x Width x Length (less loom waste) = Weft
5. Bring a small amount of wool yarn in a color not black or white that is a larger size
than the 3/2 cotton, pickup stick that is wider than your warp, normal weaving
accoutrements (weights for broken or loose ends, scissors, etc.), Several Stick or
