Party Ponchos with Bias Woven Squares

A virtual class with Florencia Campos

Mar 31, 10:00am-12:00pm and Apr 2, 10:00am-12:00pm CDT

Here is a chance to raid your stash, pull out those special and unusual yarns you’ve collected, and weave something fun to wear.  Create then join bias-woven squares together for a classic poncho shape that can be as bold or demure as you choose

It’s time pull out the colorful, textured, and luxury yarns and let them shine.  You are only limited by your imagination and yarns! Think boucle, pompon, ribbon, and even fabric strips; go exotic with cashmere and silks; or build a colorful plaid.  Once you’ve made your squares you will learn to join them together into classic poncho shape with plenty of drape and character.
