Materials Needed

Printer and paper - for cartoon
Loom- I use the Sheila Loom. You can also use the Annie Loom or any loom that can weave 4.5" wide x 8" high that can weave 8 ends per inch. My video explains ends per inch, also referred to as dents.
Warp yarn- 12 yards - I use 12/6 cotton seine twine - see it in my shop
Steel rod(optional) - it helps weaving go faster see it in my shop
Painter's tape- it doesn't leave a residue on the loom
Scissors- here are the scissors I use in the course
Wood weaving needle - see it in my shop
Tapestry needles - I use these three sizes - #13, #16, and #18 - see the set in my shop
Steam iron(optional) - used to set the shape of the weaving when finished
Hanger - I use this hanger set - these 5" hangers would be a good choice as well
Array tapestry yarn
Array yarn is manufactured by Gist, and you can purchase it on cones on the Gist site - purchasing it on cones can get expensive because there are a lot of colors in this project, so I've created a kit for you with each color wound on a mini-spool.
Array yarn is size 2/12, which is a fine 2-ply yarn @ 3,360 yds per pound. You can substitute with a similar yarn and your own colors. But if you're a beginner, I recommend weaving the project with the Moon and Mountains Yarn Kit.

Learn to weave with a cartoon.

This cartoon is on the Sheila Loom, which I use in the course.

Your Teacher- Lucy Jennings

I grew up sewing, and I loved the feel of cloth in my hands. That's what drew me to weaving: getting to work with yarn and understanding how it all goes into making textiles.

When I got to college, I was intrigued by the weaving courses, and that was that! I've been weaving ever since - over forty years.

I've been a teacher all of those years, too, and my favorite thing is to bring my weaving world to beginners like you.
