Class Description: You're confident with single color warps, maybe even stripes, but what next? Try clasped warp! Learn to warp with two colors at a time, creating beautiful multi-color masterpieces; and because I'm positive you'll catch on quickly, let's learn to weave with clasped weft too! We'll weave with two colors of weft at the same time and if you're feeling brave you could even try a third. We'll be warping for a scarf or table runner, so plan your materials accordingly!
Required Skills: Needs to be confident with direct warping and weaving a plain tabby weave
