Learn to weave garments full of texture and color by combining two different weaving techniques
Have you ever wanted to hand knit your own one-of-a-kind clothes that stand the test of time? Now you can learn how with the expertise of visual artist, artisan, and cofounder of Appsolescencia Lorena Madrazo. Tapestry takes center stage in her textile work, whether that's in clothing or decorative pieces inspired by conscious principles for a sustainable future.
In this course, Lorena teaches you two weaving techniques, one using a frame and the other knitting with different stitches (knit stitch, purl knit stitch, and rice stitch) with two circular needles. Combine both techniques to create an original scarf that is full of texture.

Loved the course. Will recommend it ahead.
I truly enjoyed this course! Lorena is a talented, inspiring fiber artist, as well as an excellent teacher. Her ability to explain weaving and knitting techniques by video is impressive. She encourages experimentation in combination with technical skill, which leads to creative freedom and projects that satisfy the inner artist.
Simplemente genial!!!
El lenguaje utilizado, el conocimiento, la didáctica en sí, son excelentes y permiten mantener el interés durante todas las unidades.
Me encantó!
Me encantó la variedad de puntos y conocer dos técnicas y su mutua aplicación. Me habría gustado ver ejemplos físicos de las ideas como la bolsa y el chal por ejemplo, y haber visto algunos "tips" como el cómo poder hacer la unión del grupo de mechones que se tenían listos para poner al final de la bufanda y que ella ya tenía listos unidos y divididos en un hilo y los iba tomando cortando de la cuerda; así como el tema del planchado de la prenda. Súper poder acelerar la velocidad.
I loved the course! I have learned a lot and it sparked my imagination. I have already started weaving and I am thinking about what to do next with these techniques!
