This class was a wonderful demonstration into the world of weaving tapestries! I love the clarity of the instruction and the close-ups that really showed how to do each weaving technique. There were so many textures and shapes that I never even knew I could do with weaving, and I am super excited to implement those in my own weaving, whether that's with a frame loom like Ms. Wrigley demonstrated, or even on my little darning loom for decorative patches! I hope there's more weaving content in the future!
