Join Katinka Horvath to learn how to card weave with playing cards! 
If you want to weave a sample of the yarn you proudly spun, strapping for handles or a belt, or some simple ribbon trim come join Katinka in this hands-on class.
This class will include making a set of cards or tablets, setting up the warp, a bit of history on tablet weaving, and some weaving, of course.

  • 10 to 12 newish playing cards
  • a hole punch 
  • a corner punch
  • a straight-edge ruler
  • scissors
  • a box knife
