Details: | Join us at LYS for a month long Trunk Show featuring GIST Yarns woven sample swatches, pattern inspiration and Lookbook ideas! During the month we'll take special orders on any and all of the GIST Yarn Collection and place the order February 1st! GIST fulfills orders quickly so we expect to fulfill your order within 7 days of being submitted to GIST and you can start weaving or use the yarn for any number of other projects that you choose! GIST has a wide variety of weaving patterns that are complimentary with the coordinating yarn purchase, and other patterns are available for a nominal cost. Let's get weaving with GIST Yarns! Beginner Rigid Heddle Collection - Set of Three Patterns Designed by Emma Rhodes, Sarah Resnick, and Christine Jablonski Our Beginner Rigid Heddle Collection contains all of the yarn and patterns you need for your first three projects - the Textured Cotton Scarf, Beginner Cotton Towels, and Houndstooth Scarf. Each successive project builds on your skills as a learning weaver, helping you to feel more confident at your loom and ready for future projects. EQUIPMENT
