This is a two day course to allow plenty of time for choice and to really relax, understand and enjoy the process.
Each day runs from 10am - 4pm.
You are welcome to take breaks as you wish and the alpacas will no doubt meander over at some point to share a carrot or two with you!

The warp are the vertical threads that form the skeleton backbone of your weaving and are integral to the creative design and finish of your project.
You will choose your own warp threads and learn how to "dress the loom" - put the warp onto your loom ready for weaving.
