Peg Loom Headband or Cowl Workshop
Choose your date and location from the dropdown list. Please get in touch if you are interested but unable to make the date/location.
Learn the wonderful craft of peg loom weaving and make yourself a 100% wool headband or cowl - you choose! Perfect for those chilly Spring evenings and getting through the depths of winter!
Suitable for beginners to learn this new skill, or for those who have already had a go at peg loom weaving to learn how to make a headband. Either way, come and get absorbed in this therapeutic weaving technique.
We will weave with British wool, and you can choose from a range of natural colours and textures from a variety of rare and native breeds.
You'll learn all about the benefits of wool and get to grips with weaving on a peg loom. This is a wonderful, accessible craft, and peg looms and wool will be available to purchase if you'd like to do more weaving at home.
How does it compare to weaving a mat?
If you have already done a mat weaving workshop with me, in this workshop we will use the closer spaced peg holes with the wool divided into finer lengths to give us a less chunky weave. And we will use a different tying off method.
Refreshments are included.
