Introduction to Weaving with Handpainted Yarns Workshop

Do handpainted yarns call to you until you get them home and can’t decide how to best use them?  Diane Smith and Catherine Chung of Just Our Yarn are coming to Austin to help us explore how the choice of weave structure combined with handpainted yarns can create extraordinary magical results.  Study the effects of hue, value, structure and thread size.  This two-­‐day round robin workshop will investigate simple weave structures that can be used to create surprising and unique fabrics.
