Thursday Jun 24: learn  about false circular warp, how to set it up, and when to use it.

Thursday July 15: we will take a look at circular warp and adding colour to it. The rules for color are not the same on flat warp and circular warp. We will talk about ways to add contrasting coloured thread to your circular warp, some of the surprising things that happen, and ways to control the coloured patterns.
