The Durham Guild of Spinners Weavers and Dyers is having an open day on Saturday 21st September 2019. Everyone is welcome to come along and try weaving. Band weaving, kumihimo, finger loop braiding, split ply braiding, lucetting, weaving on a loom are just some of the demonstrations for you to see and enjoy.
There will be lots of activities for you to try.
The Durham Guild meet in the centre of Durham City at St Oswalds Church Institute. Here is the link to the map.

I will be demonstrating how to make a warp and thread a rigid heddle for backstrap weaving. Several Guild members came to the workshop at the Oriental Museum about sanada-himo bands and I have been asked to help with warping and threading. I will bring some ready made warps as well as some yarn for people to make their own warp to thread.
I will be using the stand I bought in IKEA. I bought an additional four stands if anyone wishes to buy one from me. They are very useful to hold the heddle whilst threading the warp.
