Weaving a tea towel
Rigid Heddle Tabletop Loom WeavingThis is a FREE sampler program for ABSOLUTE Beginners.
Fendrick Library, 20 North Main Street, Mercersburg.
Mondays : June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, July 6, 2026. 10:30am – 1:30pm
Weaving has been around for 1000’s of years. We tend to link weaving with the larger floor looms that cost $1000’s, are heavy, take up a lot of floor space, and demand large quantities of yarn, making them an expensive proposition. Rigid heddle tabletop weaving looms are budget friendly, versatile, portable, have a small footprint & can fit on a tabletop making this form of weaving accessible. This program provides a creative weaving experience to those who would not normally consider trying weaving.
Join Nancy Walker & Jef Savage as they take you on a weaving journey across warps and wefts, to a land of colors and patterns. This program is a practical hands-on experience. Participants will be introduced to the history of weaving from its first documented appearance to modern day weaving artists and their work, cultural context, traditions, practices, fabrics, and applications of weaving. The project will enable participants to design and create a table runner or center piece.
All tools and looms are provided. Day One attendance is COMPULSORY. Course completion is impossible without Day One. Participants to provide 100% Cotton Yarn. Details will be provided via your email prior to the program. This is a FREE Program funded by Cultural Alliance of York County & Fendrick Library. Places are LIMITED as only 12 looms are available. To sign up call 717 328 9233 or email: librarian@fendrick.org

Our game evenings are great for kids and adults to put aside their blue screens on cell phones and tablets and have fun in a social setting. The game of chess improves concentration, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills, and teaches valuable lessons in risk and reward. Play a calculated but risky move, and it may lead to a quick win or a rapid loss. Chess is recognized as an activity that can help preserve memory and cognitive skills. It teaches all players an important lesson: Success comes from accumulating small advantages. It's one of the secrets of life!
Chess boards will be provided at the library. We look forward to seeing you there and making new friends over a game of chess!

"You’ll be happy to know that the Appalachian dulcimer is relatively easy to play. It isn’t a masters-only instrument, despite its complicated-looking design. Indeed, it’s often regarded in the musical world as one of the easiest stringed instruments to learn. It’s even easier in some cases than the guitar." Dulcimer.net -
