Weaving



I've always avoided weaving because some of the looms (the big ones) look so complicated but today a friend showed me how to use a peg loom and some weaving sticks. A whole new world of possibilities opened up!

These small pieces are made of wool tops, pulled and twisted slightly. I'm going to try using the embellisher on one piece and having a go with other materials. Plastic bags sounds promising!

  1. Ooooooooooooooooooohh! Nice weaving pics, especially the first one. How did you take that pic? It has been amazingly captured!

    Reminds me of the "scarfy" thing, especially looking at it on the loom.

    Hmmmmm. Knitting and weaving........ Single stitches and loops part of a bigger whole! ...

  2. I only saw one of these at Woolfest and asked for a demo. It was very simple but effective.
