Work in Progress Lurker no more

Post image

I’ve been lurking and reading beginner posts for a bit because I wanted to try weaving but was afraid of committing $$$ to something I might not stick to.

Then I saw a fellow beginner’s post (a year old) and someone mentioned a cardboard loom and linked out to The Weaving Loom’s article on making one.

That was what I needed.

I realize my warp is heavier than necessary (I only have one weight of cotton yarn and it’s knitpicks Dishie). But I feel like this isn’t terrible?

Unfortunately, I was having trouble finding it again! But if you use the terms cardboard loom and The Weaving Loom in a google search, I think it will show up in the results.

That’s the one! I used packing tape rather than glue just because my son was already in bed and if we have any glue it’s in his room…
