Small Loom & Freeform Weaving: Five Ways to Weave

By Barbara Matthiessen

Book Overview

30 projects for home decor and fashion accents Yarn arts and felting are two of today's most popular crafts, and popularity for weaving, a natural extension of those crafts, is growing. Small hand-held looms and tabletop looms are now available at yarn shops and hobby/craft stores, and readers of Small Loom and Freeform Weaving can even construct looms themselves using common household materials. Most looms can be constructed in a couple minutes and can be reused numerous times. This book will also show readers how to use their looms. Included are 30 projects, some of which can easily be completed in an evening or weekend. Readers will enjoy step-by-step, diagrammed instructions for personal items, such as iPod and cell phone holders, scarves, purses, and jewelry, and home decor projects, such as pillows, table runners, wall hangings, and book covers.

Customer Reviews

This book is a-loom-anating.

This is an interesting book containing thirty projects and five ways to weave. I purchased the book for the information on weavette looms. But I am amazed to find out what you can do with a comb. Even though the projects are intriguing, they could stand a little better description. I set up several “rigid heddle” looms for others, but sort of bypassed them for myself. Yet I am still interested in patterns and other people’s projects. I do not think I will try Pin weaving, but it was interesting to read about. For the price, you cannot go wrong by adding this book to your library and some new skills to your repertoire.
