April student 3 day learn to SAORI warp and thread . and a day of learning to spin art yarn.

  3 days of intensive learning at SAORI SANTA CRUZ. LaRayne learned sooo much last week!

first 2 days learn to wind a warp and make her own ready made warp.

day one blue's cotton warp.

love the saori free standing warping frame 

~~~~~~~~~~ day 2 white textures! wide and long filling the dividing rod i used a cardboard warp separator to cover the open dividing rod sections  till the cap can be slid on. 

using lease sticks to thread the heddles in the click KENZO SYSTEM HERE

Beaming on 

An example from a different warp  of  my hybrid threading the  heddles using  lease sticks and Kenzo System much easier laying the lease sticks on the threading shelf .

 

LaRayne sent me these photos from her weaving on her white textured warp back at home 

first photo she used some of the hand spun textured yarns she learned in class in her weft 

she sewed a blouse from more yardage and it looks amazing on her !

there were zero threading mistakes!
