Wear a Weaving!
Think of the variety of materials and tools we have in our Fibers Studio. Yarn, string, fabric, buttons, looms, pom pom makers, felt, patterns, pins, crochet needles, sewing machines, needles and thread.
Let's make a woven bracelet.
 |
First, do you remember how to weave? (hint: over -under- over- under).
Second, do you remember how to thread a needle? You will use yarn and a tapestry needle.
 |
You will also need cardboard and a few rubber bands.
 |  |
Use two arm lengths of yarn. You will use your needle to go over and under the rubber bands. Back and forth or side to side. Continue all around your cardboard until all the rubber bands are covered.
Tie on a new piece of yarn when you run out.
Stretch your learning by adding beads, sequins and changing colors as you go.

Wool is a natural fiber material that comes from a Sheep. Artists work with wool in many ways. It can be twisted and spun into yarn or felted into artworks.

|
Wool can be felted wet or dry. When an artist felts wool, they are interlocking the fibers.
