WI Sheep and Wool Collaboration: Beginner Inkle Weaving with Lisa Graves

Friday, September 11, 2026

 1 PM - 4 PM


Registration will open April 15, 2026 at 12:01 am CST. This registration is to hold your spot only and you will be contacted directly by WISW to pay for your class (see important notes below). Early registration will close May 8th (after that you can register on the WISW site starting May 15th if space is left).

Topic:  

Weaving bands on an inkle loom is a fun and simple portable weaving art; bands can be used for bracelets, key chain fobs, zipper pulls, shoelaces, straps for bags, and more! This class will give you all the knowledge you need to comfortably weave on an inkle loom, and you will learn how to make heddles, warp your loom, and weave the band. The class will also cover designing your own bands, different thread options, and resources for more information.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival is offering MKG members a chance to register for classes before they open to the general public. This is a huge member benefit since classes sell out quickly at the festival site.
  2. There is not a discount for the classes, it is early registration only!
  3. You can only register early via the MKG website, and you must be a MKG member to do so. 
  4. You will NOT pay for your class via MKG. Once you register, you will receive an invoice from Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival, and you will pay them directly.
  5. Payment must be made to the Festival no later than May 10 or you will be dropped from the class.
