Pinwheel Scarf on a Rigid Heddle - IP- Winter 2026

*This class fulfills the Non-Knitting Elective / Wild Card Elective Requirement for WEKP.

This deceptively complicated-looking technique is actually quite simple—and what a lovely design! The pattern was originally designed for an eight-shaft loom but has been translated for the rigid heddle loom using just one reed and one pickup stick. Really!

This intermediate-level class guides students through the threading, hemstitching, and pattern technique in class. Students work at their own pace and then finish the scarf at home. It makes a wonderful gift!

For the comfort and safety of our students and teachers, students may be asked to wear a mask during in person classes and workshops, and masks are available upon request.
