Description: You’ve learned how to warp a rigid heddle loom. Now it’s time to expand your weaving repertoire while creating cotton towels. With your pre-warped loom, you will learn how to set up for warp and weft floats. This is a great opportunity to become familiar with a finer sett (12.5 epi) and a new fibre (cotton).
