I want to do some weaving but I haven't got a loom. The answer is to make one, so I looked at videos on yooootoooob. I just want a small one to practice on, I have a shop bought cheap piece of tat, a canvas, no I didn't buy it, and the picture was damaged. So I stripped it off, and measured up the spaces for the nails. It measures 8" x 6".
Then choose some colours. I used wool but any yarn can be used. This is what it looks like so far. I have put some fringing into it. Nearly ready to take it off the loom. I want to add a fringe at the bottom, and attach it to a bar at the top, and add embellishments. The side strands need weaving in at the back.
This could be the start of a new hobby. I'll post pics when it's finished.
One more board left to do, when I think of an idea.

Quite relaxing I should imagine.

It looks fabulous, something like that would make a stunning cushion or a wool or cotton weave could be a lovely mat....looks like lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you can invent a frame that is expandable for different sized weaving.
That's really clever. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully will inspire those of us on the poor side but wanting to do this to have a go at making one too. x
