Using a pick-up stick on the rigid heddle loom is easier than you think, and you’ll soon appreciate how powerful this little tool can be. We’ll spend the morning creating weft floats and the afternoon warp floats—and then put it all together to weave both in the same fabric with just one pick-up stick. Whether it’s honeycomb, krokbragd or lace, you can weave all of these patterns on your rigid heddle loom—and have a blast doing it. BEGINNING RIGID HEDDLE WEAVING SKILLS REQUIRED.
