Weaving the V cowl on the Rigid Heddle Loom

Weaving the V Cowl on the Rigid Heddle Loom

Weaving Warp into Warp

The V Cowl is a popular, special project to help you go "beyond the rectangle". You'll learn the steps to weave warp into warp at the finish to create this cowl with no seams.

Due to its simple use of plain weave, this course is designed for rigid heddle weavers who have some experience with warping and plain weave. If you are starting from scratch or seek a refresher of the basics, see "Rigid Heddle Weaving: Learn to Weave with the V cowl"

Designer, author, and teacher, Tamara Poff, guides you through from warp to finish with photos, charts, references, and videos and gives you lots of weaving tips in the process. Take your weaving to the next level, and have fun along the way!

I am new to loom weaving and thanks to this class, I've just finished my first V Cowl - and there definitely will be more. The videos were extremely helpful by taking me through the process step by step. Tammy's knowledge of yarns and the rigid heddle loom is a definite plus in her videos. And her soothing voice gives me all the encouragement I need to continue learning how to weave on my loom. This was an excellent learning tool for me and I look forward to many more classes from this instructor in the future.
