Peyote with a Twist

In this class you will learn the technique created by Gerlinde Lenz called Peyote with a Twist or PeyTwist.  This creates a tube that looks very similar to bead crochet.

There are 2 seam closures you can learn - single seam and double seam.  One is for patterns with an odd number of beads and the other is for patterns with an even number of beads.  You can choose to learn just one or both.

You will also learn how to read a peytwist chart and how to finish the end.

You will be creating a simple tube of 2 colors - one is the main color and the other is a stripe that swirls around the tube.

If you wish to bring your own supplies then the cost is $10 per hour with a minimum 1 hour charge.

​

The other option is to purchase all the needed supplies at the shop and then there is no per hour charge.  All needed supplies must be bought - if you are only buying a few of the items then the $10 per hour charge applies.
