Default Need help finding weaving techniques.
Old 08-14-2008, 01:56 PM   #1 (permalink)

I am working on constructing a LARGE loom similar to the loom looper looms of my childhood, to use with recycling t shirts. I am looking for online resourses to show how to weave different designs into the peices that I will make!
Does anyone know of any such resource?

Denise

Denise, I just put "weaving techniques" into google search and found alot of sites.
Not know what you are wanting, I did not post a link.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply Deb,
I am specifically looking for techniques to make designs in 'pot holder' knit on those little potholder type looms with the fabric loops. I plan to make extra large ones on a home made frame.

So that is what I am looking for. I have tried several searches online to no avail. I only find links for places to buy the potholder looms, not how to use them!!

Perhaps like loom knitting I need to MAKE the resourses online once I find them off line!

Denise

Default Here's a thought..

If you can't find the info on-line -- maybe you can go to a store (Wal-Mart maybe?) that still sells the pot-holder looms for children and look at the box --- If you are so inclined and have a kiddo who can make use of it, perhaps you could buy the pot-holder loom in hopes that it will have instructions!! Good luck -- and that seems like a really neat idea -- are you making a rug perhaps?

I did end up buying an old booklet on ebay. It has quite a bit in it, not quite everything I wanted but it's a start!
Thanks!
Denise
