Hidden Handwoven Treasures: Pin-Loom Projects Primary Image

Deb Bagley’s Pin-Striped Pin-Loom Pillow was originally published in the March/April 2018 issue of Handwoven.

I’ve mentioned before that one of the hardest parts of working on Handwoven as a contributing editor is seeing the incredible small-loom projects proposed for that magazine without yelling “DIBS!” Of course, I know that publishing small-loom projects in Handwoven makes sense: Handwoven readers also weave on small looms, and for those who don’t, a beautiful project might make them more interested in starting.

Recently, I had the opportunity to go through the past few years and pick out two projects I thought might interest Little Looms readers to offer as All Access subscriber exclusives! (Not an All Access subscriber? Learn more here.)

I both love and hate this kind of task. I love it because I get to look at all the incredible projects through the years; I hate it because I could pick only two! Eventually I was able to narrow it down to Deb Bagley’s Pin-Striped Pin-Loom Pillow and Margaret Stump’s Deep Stash Bag.

Both of these projects are from long-time Easy Weaving with Little Looms’ contributors, and I love that they both showcase different techniques. Deb’s bag, for example, features pick-up as well as weaving with a second color in a pin-loom square. The result is bright and beautiful, and makes you want to look closer to figure how, exactly, it was woven.

Meg Stump’s bag uses two different pin-loom shapes that are joined and then wet-finished and fulled until the fabric becomes thick and sturdy. The bag is easy to weave and construct—and will last you for ages. It’s also absolutely beautiful!
