Weave as threaded, aiming to square the pattern. Weave in the ends as you go. Hem- stitch. Finishing: Hand wash in hot water with Dawn deter- gent. Rinse in cold water. Place in hot dr yer watching closely until almost dr y or until sufficiently fulled. Lay flat to finish dr ying. Steam press with moderately hot iron, pressing firmly on the cloth. This will flatten the yarn and bring out the sheen in the yarn. Trim fringe to about 4". We used a rotary cutter, a ruler, and a self-healing cut- ting mat. What We're Loving Now: The Wolf Pup and Wolf Pup LT For weavers on the go, nothing can beat the com- pact, lightweight, and friendly Wolf Pup and Wolf Pup LT. The Wolf Pup is a direct tie-up loom which means that there are four treadles, each tied directly to a shaft. That is, treadle 1 is tied to shaft 1, treadle 2 is tied to shaft 2, and so on. To lift two shafts, two treadles must be pressed. Because the Wolf Pup LT has jacks and lamms, it is possible to tie up more than one shaft to a treadle. For example, you can tie shafts 1, 2, and 3 to treadle one and lift all three shafts by pressing on just one treadle. No matter which Pup you choose, both mod- els feature: 18" weaving width, 4 shafts, folding x-frame, attached wheels, treadle tracker, friction brake with release pedal, and sturdy barrel nut con- struction. The Wolf Pup and Wolf Pup LT are both easy to take to workshops, outdoors, or next door. Ask for either loom at your favorite Schacht dealer. Happy Weaving!

Where's Jane?Summer conferences are not only fun, they’re a great way to intensify your learning. Jane Patrick, Schacht Creative Director, author, and teacher, will be found this summer teaching at several confer-ences, as well as this fall at Mendocino Art Center.
June 15-21: Midwest Weaver’s Conference in Min-neapolis, Minnesota. Jane will be teaching at the pre-conference workshops June 15-17. Jane’s class, “I can do THAT? Techniques for the Rigid Heddle Loom”, will explore the vast possibilities of the rigid heddle loom with a focus on designing stunning fabrics.
July 9-12: New England Weaver’s Seminar in Northampton, Massachusetts. NEWS is solely fo-cused on weaving, from beginner to advanced tech-niques. Jane will be teaching a one day workshop, “Weave a Scarf in a Day”, which is a beginner class that teaches all of the steps in weaving. Jane will also be teaching pick-up for the rigid heddle loom and finger-controlled techniques which can be done on either a floor loom or a rigid heddle loom. Jane will also be giving the keynote address, “Weaving a Life: Creativity, Collaboration, Community”.
July 23-26: Intermountain Weaver’s Conference in Durango, Colorado. Jane will be found back in her home state in beautiful, historic Durango. The theme of this conference is “try something new”. With that in mind Jane is teaching beginning inkle weaving, weave a scarf in a day (beginning rigid heddle weaving), as well as pick-up for the rigid heddle loom and finger-controlled techniques.
November 14-15: Mendocino Art Center in Men-docino, California. Join Jane in the lovely Mendocino surroundings for two days of rigid heddle weaving. One day is devoted to pick-up on the rigid heddle loom and the other day will focus on finger-control techniques.
