The French Knots Tapestry Kit is part of Mirrix's 39th Weave-Along that will begin in February, 2025. You will receive a link to sign up for the weave-along inside of your kit. This kit makes a wonderful holiday gift.
This tapestry is all about the materials. It combines wet spun linen with FARO wool and mulberry silk in a tapestry that celebrates neutrals and bright colors all at once. During Weave-Along 39, we will explore the art of weaving in opposite directions, slit tapestry, soumak and adding embroidered French Knots to a tapestry as you weave. The finishing is as unique as the design with a stepped edge and gorgeous linen fringe.
Have fun playing in the subtle yarn playground of neutrals and pops of silken color with the French Knots Tapestry.
In this weave-along you will learn:
-How to set-up and warp a Classic Series Mirrix Loom for tapestry weaving
-Tapestry techniques: Weaving in opposite directions, slit tapestry, soumak, French knots
-How to finish a tapestry with stepped finishing and fringe
