Intro to Rigid Heddle Weaving
This is a Beginner class- You need a willingness to learn
Rigid heddle weaving is an easily accessible style of weaving on a small loom designed for knit and crochet yarns. The loom is characterized by and named after its reeds, which contain rigid plastic or wooden heddles.
Rigid heddle looms also give weavers great flexibility in the style and types of fabric they weave.
