    You don’t have to invest a lot of money in weaving equipment to start weaving. A rigid heddle loom is a simple frame loom that allows you to weave anything from wall hangings to scarves. It is sometimes called a Knitter's loom because it can accommodate bulky or novelty yarns. This type of loom folds and takes up very little space. See the Flip loom and Cricket looms at www.schachtspindle.com. There are many projects to chose from and one project can be completed in 2 weeks. Looms are available for rent for $50 and can be taken home to work on between sessions. The rental can be applied to the purchase of the loom if you so choose. You are also welcome to bring your own. Returning students welcome.
