'Plait' Yarn Wrapping Manual
Please Note: You do not need to buy this manual if you are already booked onto the live Zoom workshop - the manuals come as part of the package!
If you’re looking for something simple to start with before trying the more complex woven patterns in Off-Loom Weaving Class 1, these yarn wrappings are for you!
This ‘plait’ design is so simple but versatile.
There are countless ways to use this easy method to create very different designs - the possibilities are endless!
They make great gifts and look lovely framed on the wall too.
This PDF manual is a clear step-by-step photographic guide through the process from start to finish, also showing a few of the different ways you can use it.
Yarn wrappings are also a great way to develop a colour palette - I often use them when I’m designing colours or stripes for fabrics to be woven on my big loom.
You will need:
A base - it doesn’t have to be wood like mine, but does need to be a square. Mine is 4’’ x 4’’ but you can use any size.
Double sided sticky tape
Yarn - I am demonstrating here with regular cotton embroidery floss approximately 6 ply but you can use anything, and you can mix fibres and thicknesses too! Wool, cotton, linen, something novelty, anything goes.
Pencil
Ruler
Scissors
Needle
I hope you enjoy making these!
