The Thrill of Twills

Louise French, Instructor

Weaving Twills

Twills are perhaps the most versatile of all weave structures and provide countless design opportunities.  Not only are there, what may seem to be, endless variations in threading, tie-up and treadling orders, add to that the variations in sett and fiber weight, color and texture and you add yet another dimension.  It has been said that twills begin, but they never end.  This class will explore some of the threading, tie-up and treadling possibilities.

Students will warp a loom and weave either a twill sampler or project of their choice.  This class is designed for the beginning weaver who is comfortable warping a loom and the intermediate weaver.

Prerequisite: Beginning weaving
