Busy week with Saori Weaving classes and new colors of Saori ready made warps.

Cool rainy weather brings  focus for students  back inside for  Saori weaving and spining here in northern and central California .

  Christal came for a Saori hat class and she learned how to wind a warp thread and dress a Saori loom.

 Georganne bought a new SAORI WX60 FOLDING LOOM last week and came back with her new loom to learn how to thread a ready made warp .
