Get Started

In this course with instructor Amanda Wood, you’re going to learn Lace with Pick-Up Sticks on a Rigid Heddle.

In a series of videos, Amanda shows warp and weft floats, both individually and in combination, guiding us in making five samples (including hemstitching). The samples are made on a 9” / 23 cm wide warp, so you’ll end the course with a set of lovely table squares. You can then choose a structure you’ve woven and expand it into a table runner on a wider warp. All this lace done by weaving with pick-up sticks with only a rigid needle loom!

For this course, you’ll need a rigid heddle loom. And you will need pick-up sticks! If you’re a beginner with the rigid heddle, remember to go through the Rigid Heddle Weaving Basics course first.

Throughout the videos, you’ll learn:

  • Disrupting plain weave
  • Lace exploration:
    • Weft floats
    • Warp floats
    • Combined warp and weft floats, mock waffle
    • 5/1 lace variations
    • 5/1 lace with two pick-up sticks
  • Turning your samplers into a project
  • References & resources

The Lace with Pick-Up Sticks on Rigid Heddle includes a comprehensive workbook with beautiful photos, tips, and resources. You’ll also receive the Lacy Squares & Runner pattern PDF. Many additional supplies can be found at SweetGeorgia Yarns.


Talk about the Lace with Pick-Up Sticks on a Rigid Heddle course with members of the School of SweetGeorgia. Post project pictures, share personal reflections, and join the conversations in our Community Forums!

I was trying to weave summer and winter without changing my tie-up… trying to take a short cut and just use the tie-up I had for overshot. But it made it slow, confusing, and inefficient. Just taking a bit of extra time to change the tie-up and also switching out a shuttle that kept catching… now this is weaving so easily and so quickly.

Sometimes it’s better to take the time upfront to stop, reset, and make things right. It just makes everything work better.
