You asked

Some of you wondered about my loom.

You wondered what the process looks like.

This one's for YOU!

;)

 

This is the cotton crotchet thread I used this time.

A nice varigated green/blue/tan.

I warp it onto my loom

following the simple instructions

in the little book that came with my loom.

I began at the end with a small bit of cream crotchet thread.

I think it gives my table runner a nice finish.

I ended with the same.

 

The comb there is used to push the yarn/thread tighter

as I go along.

 

The picture above shows the loom resting on my knees

as it leans against the table.

I could buy a stand....

but this takes up LESS space in my home this way.

;)

 

Then..... I make my RAG YARN.

1 1/4" strips of fabric.

I make a whole bunch!

Lots of greens, tans and whites were chosen.

I sew them together to make

a LONG piece of "YARN".

As I run out...

I make some more!

;)

I wrap it around my shuttle

folding in half as I go.

 

In and out

Back and forth.

Pushing each row down as I go....

 

That's weaving in a nutshell.

 

This is the beautiful results!

I LOVE it!
