Accessible to all, it is designed to familiarize you with the tools, techniques, and tips that make setting up a project on your loom easier and more accurate.
A practical and complete learning experience
Guided by Catherine Malichecq, you will explore the tools and accessories used for indirect warping, whether on a warping frame or a rotary warping mill. You will learn how to measure and prepare your yarns, manage color sequences, and achieve optimal chaining directly on the loom.
Through clear demonstrations and hands-on exercises, you will leave with practical skills ready to apply to your own weaving projects.
