Introduction to PVC Cord Weaving

Weaving techniques with PVC cable

“Congratulations! You reached the end of the course, although this is only the beginning. I hope with all my heart that you are falling in love with this art, that you have learned a lot and that you have opened your mind and have the necessary foundations to begin creating. You already have all the necessary tools to start weaving furniture and decorative objects in PVC cord. Practice the technique on paper and when you have mastered, throw yourself to knit. At first you can get tired and feel tensions in your body, it is normal, the important thing is that you always take care of the posture in which you are knitting; Move and stretch your arms and legs. Have fun and enjoy the process. As a final project, we are going to weave a stool; or a generic piece of furniture that you have at home and want to give it life; or if you feel very inspired you can make a piece of furniture from scratch. Remember that PVC is a material that generates a lot of tension, therefore, the structure on which you are going to weave must be stable enough so that it can withstand the tension of the material and if it is the case of a seat, the weight of the person who will use it. Choose the type of yarn that is most functional in your furniture, always remember that the yarn you are going to use must be the same throughout the piece, you should not mix them. Choose the pattern or patterns you like best and adapt them to your piece. Keep in mind how many threads you are going to knit (one thread in one thread, two threads in two threads, etc.) Choose a color palette taking into account the tips I gave you and start creating incredible objects. Remember to share all your findings and experiments in the forum. The more you share the more opportunities we all have to learn. I will be present, watching your progress and solving your doubts whenever I can. I hope you fly your creativity and have fun. Finally, I want to share with you my experience in making this project a reality. I have discovered that I love teaching, but above all, inspire people like you to do the things they love. I have met very talented people and full of inspiring stories that have been part of my personal growth and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you for choosing me to help you in this new process that you start today. I hope you liked it and understand and values much more what artisan work is. See you soon! ”
