Brook's Bouquet, Thurs. June 20, 1-3pm

Brook’s Bouquet Sampler/Scarf Class

Brook’s Bouquet is a hand manipulated weaving technique that creates a lacy open weave. In this class you will learn several ways to use Brook’s Bouquets as you weave either a sampler that can be used as a table mat under a vase of flowers or a fun wall hanging, or try the various stitches at the edge of a scarf and then continue weaving using the one you like best, or plain weave, and then repeat the pattern at the other end. The goal in class is to get through the first set of the pattern and then you are free to continue on your own at home.

For the sampler you will need 1 skein of worsted weight (7.5 heddle) or dk (10 heddle), for the scarf you will need two skeins. If using a warp calculator factor 6 PPI for weft using worsted, and 8 for weft using dk. These are approximate values.

Before class, warp your loom as follows:

Sampler: Warp 50” length, 104 ends wide (about 14” in reed)

Scarf: warp any length you prefer and a width in the reed with a number of ends that divide by 8.

This step is crucial!

A shorter shuttle (8-12”) is very helpful as we make the bouquets. It’s best not to fill the shuttle

super full either, a skinny one is easier to manipulate.

Loom Rentals available.
