In the summer and fall of 2024 I sewed a skirt for my daughter, using fabric I wove on my four harness floor loom. I wrote about it here. There was enough fabric left to make a matching top. I started the top project this summer when Britta was visiting, but it took me untilContinue reading “Top from Hand Woven Fabric”

More Floor Loom Towels
After weaving the rest of the warp yarn that came on my vintage Structo Artcraft loom (read about that here), I was ready to make something on my floor loom. I had not used it since before Christmas, because I cannot bring it to Arizona! I decided to make another set of towels with theContinue reading “More Floor Loom Towels”
Structo Artcraft Loom
I friend of mine was helping clean out a storage room at her church. It was packed with crafting supplies that had not been used in a long time, including a table top weaving loom. She sent me a photo of the loom and asked if I wanted it. YES! I wanted this vintage fourContinue reading “Structo Artcraft Loom”
Rigid Heddle Scarf
Like most knitters, I have many random skeins of yarn that I love, but don’t know what to do with. Some I spun myself, some I bought while on vacation, some I bought on sale, others I thought I was going to use but never made that project. They look beautiful sitting in baskets. TheyContinue reading “Rigid Heddle Scarf”
Tablet Woven Shoelaces
I have more knitting, spinning and weaving project ideas in my head than I can keep up with. The possibilities are infinite, there is always something new to learn or try. I had heard of something called tablet weaving or card weaving. It had not sparked my interest…until I saw a photo and pattern forContinue reading “Tablet Woven Shoelaces”
Wonky Towels
Before Christmas I completed a weaving project of jar cover cloths for my daughter’s fermenting projects. I was in a hurry so I could get them in the mail. There was a bit of extra warp yarn left that I might have woven into something, or it could have been considered as waste yarn. ItContinue reading “Wonky Towels”
Refurbishing my Floor Loom
I have put some time and money into refurbishing the used floor loom I bought last summer at Tangles to Treasures in Fergus Falls. I knew that it was made by Harrisville Designs in New Hampshire, and that it had four harnesses and a 36″ wide weaving width. The only other information I had wasContinue reading “Refurbishing my Floor Loom”
Weaving in Arizona
I am enjoying my time in Arizona, where I don’t have to worry about slipping and falling every time I go outside. In addition to activities we do here such as hiking and bike riding, I do many of the same things I would be doing at home, like knitting and weaving. I brought myContinue reading “Weaving in Arizona”
Towels on the Floor Loom
My second project on the floor loom was a set of 100% cotton dish towels. I like making towels because they are practical, make good gifts, and are still functional even if they have mistakes or turn out wonky. Towels on the floor loom can be wider than towels made on my 15″ wide rigidContinue reading “Towels on the Floor Loom”
