When pin-loom weavers start their journey, they often begin with a 4-by-4-inch square loom. Soon they realize that, while you can make many projects using squares and clever folding, weaving only one shape is limiting. If looms in other shapes aren’t in the budget quite yet, there is a way to weave not only squares but also triangles and rectangles on a square loom: continuous-strand weaving.

Continuous-strand weaving is an exciting and efficient technique that simultaneously warps and weaves an evenly-spaced pin loom with a single strand of yarn. The result is a zero-waste, bias woven piece of fabric. This method can be used on looms of many shapes and sizes—squares, rectangles, triangles, hexagons, and even diamonds.
