Description
Finger weaving has been practiced around the globe from Lapland to the Middle East. Indigenous women in Canada and the United States
finger-wove sashes for both tribal use and trade — and still use the bands in their traditional dress.
Linda will guide you through the set-up and the weaving as you learn some of the traditional patterns — diagonal, stipple, vertical stripe, and chevron. These patterns can be combined in larger projects for stunning results. Finishing options will be discussed.
Supply List
• Three to four colors of worsted-weight yarn. Linda recommends Brown Sheep Company Lambs Pride worsted.
• Large binder clip
• Unsharpened pencil or similar size dowel
• Approximately 8 x 10-inch piece of sturdy corrugated cardboard, mat board, or Masonite
