Easy Weaving with Little Looms Summer 2026

Have fun in the sun—and at your loom—with the Summer 2026 issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms! Whether your summer adventures include picnics in park, outdoor festivals, or relaxed dinners with friends and family, we’ve got you covered with fun and functional weaving designs.

Get ready for an afternoon in the park with a bright and beautiful pin-loom picnic blanket, or set your table at home with fine linen towels for the rigid-heddle loom and sweet and simple-to-finish fringed napkins. You’ll also find a set of tablet-woven mug rugs (yes, really!), two lightweight silk blend shawls perfect for summer evenings, and so much more!

You’ll also:

• Follow along with Tom Knisely as he takes you on a journey through the lifecycle of linen, from flaxseed to finished cloth. • Discover the tips and tricks Malynda Allen uses to weave with fine linen threads on a rigid-heddle loom in her low humidity home. • Take your tablet weaving to new heights—and widths—by using a rigid-heddle loom. • Warp once and get two different projects—a set of towels with a coordinating shawl. • Learn a simple method for embellishing your bands with beads in the weft. • Conquer unwanted twist buildup in your tablet weaving with a warp-weighted setup.

Get ready for summer in style with the projects and ideas you’ll find in this issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms.
