With this issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, I invite you to put down the phone, turn down the static, and find a reason to take a trip to (or with!) your loom.
Using 2 pick-up sticks and plenty of patience, Elisabeth Hill wove her truly spectacular Taconic Tonic Scarf for Handwoven Loom Theory.
Is anyone else like this? I am an absolute sucker for sparkly yarns. If it has sequins, glitter, or just an overall metallic look, I want it.
In Sara Goldenberg’s Street Smart scarf, from Handwoven Loom Theory: Rigid-Heddle Scarf Collection, she combines color-and-weave with just a bit of pick-up to create a scarf that is thoroughly modern, completely classic, and wonderfully warm.
Jenny Sennott’s project Two Sweet Blue Towels are the perfect project for learning pick-up. Each towel has a different pick-up pattern, and both are short and simple to follow.
There is so much to love about Jennifer’s Braided in Eternity Bracelets. You can either weave the more traditional bands or you can learn tubular inkle weaving.
The hand-manipulated techniques used in the Tiny Bubbles Shawl may be challenging for weavers who haven’t worked Danish medallions before. Consider working a generous sample or a simple project before beginning the handwoven shawl.
Looking for the perfect bag for spring trips to the farmers market? Consider Deborah Jarchow's Lovely Lace Market Bag which is now free for subscribers!
What’s better than a messenger bag? A handwoven messenger bag, like the Coffeehouse Satchel by Cei Lambert in Easy Weaving with Little Looms 2018.
One of the many joys of rigid-heddle weaving is how much easier it is to do fun hand-manipulated techniques such as pick-up. Pick-up lets you create beautiful patterns and textures in you weaving.
