Clasped Warp and Weft on the Rigid-Heddle Loom with Angela Tong
About Clasped Warp and Weft on the Rigid-Heddle Loom with Angela Tong
Create dramatic color changes across your weaving using clasped warp and clasped weft techniques. Students learn how to control color patterning by choosing where warp and weft colors meet, allowing them to create: • Blocks of solid color • Gradations • Painted-warp effects • Unique color intersections With a warping peg and two sources of yarn, even simple plain weave becomes a canvas for expressive colorwork.
