Pick Up Stick Weaving

Scarf woven using Pick Up sticks

Description

This workshop will take your weaving to the next level by teaching you how to use Pick Up Sticks to create beautiful patterns. We will also take you through some other techniques such as Leno and Brookes Bouquet. These methods all add pattern and texture to your woven fabric. It also gives an opportunity to see how colour and pattern affects your work This workshop is not recommended for complete beginners and ideally you would be bringing your ready warped loom so that you can get started straight away. If you would like to borrow one of our looms for the day, we can arrange that, please message us

Adele reviewed: Weave a Scarf Workshop

"Had the best day learning how to weave, using beautiful yarns in a vast array of colours. The tutors Jessamy and Sophia were very knowledgeable and right on hand but also did not hover. The length of the course is just right to come away with your own personally designed scarf. Brilliant!"

Lazykate Textiles responded:

"Thank you so much for leaving your feedback. We're so pleased you enjoyed the day, it was lovely spending some time with you"

Lorraine Barnard reviewed: Weave a Scarf Workshop

"I really enjoyed the day and being a new weaver was very pleased with how much we all achieved. Cathy was very knowledgeable and helpful, and her yarns are just gorgeous to work with. Everything was setup ready for us, fantastic choice of colours to use, and we even used some silks one of the attendees brought with her. The Williamson Art Gallery in Birkenhead was a perfect venue, fabulous cafe, lovely people and lots of space, easy parking, everything we needed. I'm definitely interested in continuing to weave and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course."

Lazykate Textiles responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Lorraine and such a lovely one at that. I really appreciate it. Cathy"

Lymphoma Lass reviewed: Weaving with pick up sticks

"Excellent course - really enjoyed it when I participated today (11/02/17). Cathy set a very comfortable, homely, reassuring atmosphere and we all achieved a great deal in the half day. I took home my project with some extra embroidery thread to help me finish it, and worked on it some more this afternoon. Just lovely. Would really recommend. LLxx"
