This project started with a question: Could I change warp colours without actually changing the warp?

Turns out, I can — and so can you! With some creative warping and a combination of pick-up sticks and string heddles, you can create a warp that lets you choose which colours appear as you weave.

in this class we’ll warp together - so if you feel like you need a little help, I’ll be there. Plus, I’ll show you how I warp - three colours at once!

Once we get all wound on we’ll be ready to weave! We’ll start with pick-up sticks and then move to string heddles. We’ll talk about when you might prefer 2 pick-up sticks and when string heddles might be the better option. And we’ll cover the unique issues that come up in this particular style of weaving.
