Warping a loom with one peg

Members of the Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild found much interest in the program at the June meeting, "Warping a Rigid Heddle Loom using One Peg." Shown here are Pat K. and Phyllis N. demonstrating the process of dressing a table top loom using a single peg. The process was quick and easy and accomplished in approximately 20 minutes. After the demonstration, members and visitors were given the opportunity to weave using the table top looms.

The Show and Tell portion of the meeting included knitted mitts, felted tote bags, entrelac knitting, hand dyed yarns and woven and knitted items using renewable fibers.
