You Can Learn Kits - Weaving

The basic process of weaving cloth has remained the same since its beginning in the ancient times. The weft threads are interlaced through warp threads strung on a frame or loom. What was once a long, slow process of handwork, making cloth expensive and valuable, is now automated. Today, most of the cloth for our clothes, curtains, and sheets are made by huge , fast, industrial looms that can weave more than six rows a second. Hand weaving is an admired tradition kept alive in many parts of the world and is also practiced as a contemporary art form.

This simple loom will give you the opportunity to follow this historical process. String the warp and weave the weft using three colors to make your own attractive piece of cloth.
