Painted warps add a whole new dimension to your weaving, and they are so much fun to weave on! Paint a warp for a tencel scarf with fiber reactive dyes. Learn how to sett a warp emphasis fabric, and how to use warp painting in combination with various weave structures. Take your painted warp home to weave!
Warps will be pre-wound at home according to instructions. We’ll learn about mixing dyes and using color in class. Suggestions and ideas for how to weave the project at home will also be given.
