Overview
Spinning and Weaving is a delicate process of patience and skill- which we quickly learned to appreciate in class! Tagging behind last week's lesson on the Tabernacle, we started by reading the verses from Exodus 35 that spoke of the women of Israel who had a willing heart to spin and weave the special royal cloth needed for the Tabernacle and the priests garments. Later as we worked on our weaving project, students shared other verses in the Bible that refer to spinning and weaving.
Project
Bending a twig into a hoop, students used this to create a simple loom using yarn. We then took thick yarn to weave a foliage design at the top, wrapping the lower yarn into a trunk to create a fun, seasonal fall tree in the hoops. As students worked on their weaving, we talked about some of the technique and tools used in spinning and weaving.
