ZOOM WORKSHOP

Double Weave Workshop for Four Shaft Looms 

MARCH 14-15 and 28, 2026

$55.00 for members/ $60.00 for non members

(cost is based on class size maximum of 14 students)

Registration is open online or via the form below

There is something fascinating about double cloth, isn’t there? To weave at all is amazing, and to weave two layers at the same time feels like magic! 

In this class we will be working on four shafts to dive deep into the potential of those two layers. We’ll create pattern, pockets, tubes and more pattern, as we consider the practical and decorative applications of double cloth fabric.



Appropriate for weavers who use four shafts or more. Students should be able to read a draft and warp their loom. No previous experience of double weave is required. Full instructions will be provided to enable students to prepare their loom before the workshop starts.

We will meet the first Saturday and Sunday at 9:30 am for 90 minutes or so. The students will have 60-90 minutes of weaving time. We then meet again for 30-60

minutes to answer questions, etc. By then it is lunch time and end of classes.

On Saturday, March 28, we will meet again at 9:30 am for wrap-up and show & tell.

Stashbuster Crocheted Basket June 6, 2026 12:30 pm to 3:30 (after SVWG regular meeting)

Location: Allen United Methodist Church

About this event

Kim McKinnon will be teaching us how to create the crocheted basket with handles that many of us have seen her working on lately. This will be a small version of the basket to demonstrate how to make the base, how to create the sides, and how to crochet the handles at the top. Several strands of various lengths, colors, and thicknesses of yarn are crocheted together to create a sturdy vessel. This is a great way to use up all those leftover ends of skeins, yarns that you know you'll never get around to using, and also an excellent use for recycled yarns. Please add this class to your calendar and start collecting those stash yarns. The large basket Kim has been working on used 3 pounds of scraps. The class project will be a smaller basket to allow for time to finish all the steps.

Cost:  SVWG Member: $10

Non-Member: $15

Required skills: Ability to do a single crochet.

Bring to class:   1) For the class-size basket you will need about 3 ounces of scrap yarns of a thinner weight. Three or four strands will be crocheted as one. Any types are acceptable to combine - cotton, wool, acrylic, novelty, etc. (Kim will have some extra yarns at the class which may be purchased from her directly.) 2) A size J crochet hook (or close.) (Kim will have some extra hooks available for a nominal price.) Hook needs to be big enough to grab your selected threads.  3) Bring your own lunch and beverage.
